UNCC called a model in tech achievement. U.S. official hails its impact on health care, cites state’s innovation

UNC Charlotte is leading the nation in creating new technology to improve quality of life and make the health care system more efficient, said Jon Dudas, the Undersecretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property on Friday.

Dudas’ visit to UNCC aimed to draw attention to President Bush’s desire to increase America’s competitiveness and innovation in health care technology. Speaking before university and local researchers and leaders, Dudas called the university a "model" in promoting that effort.

He cited a 2001 report that ranked the school first in the nation in the number of patent applications and start-up companies, second in innovations, and third in the number of patents issued per $10 million in research expenses. The report was by the Association of University Technology Managers.
