As Kennesaw State University strives to conduct research with relevant societal impact, it remains essential to provide researchers opportunities to bring their findings into the market to maximize their reach.
A partnership with international law firm Smith, Gambrell & Russell, LLP, with its largest office in Atlanta, ensures KSU researchers have access to state-of-the-art diligence and patent-related technology, increasing the speed of evaluation and drafting of patent applications, allowing KSU to expand its portfolio.

The partnership has yielded significant results, with Kennesaw State seeing a 60 percent increase in disclosures last fiscal year and a 300 percent jump from 2023-2025.
