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.
