History
Prior to 2007, The University of Nebraska Medical Center's intellectual property infrastructure was bifurcated into two separate units. UNeMed, as it existed back then, was responsible for out-licensing UNMC intellectual property as well as administering other commercial and research-based contracts for the university. UNeMed's sister office was the UNMC Intellectual Property Office, which was responsible for evaluating invention disclosures by UNMC faculty and managing the intellectual property rights based thereon. In 2007, noting the obvious overlap between these two functions, the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska joined the two offices, forming the present incarnation of UNeMed. Today, UNeMed is a for-profit company which operates as an arm of UNMC's research division and is overseen by the UNMC Vice-Chancellor of Research.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I feel as tall as you.”
—Ellis Meredith, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 14, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“Bias, point of view, fury—are they ... so dangerous and must they be ironed out of history, the hills flattened and the contours leveled? The professors talk ... about passion and point of view in history as a Calvinist talks about sin in the bedroom.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
