Technology Transactions
We promote the value of your technology and connect you with the technology you need.
Is your technology sitting idle in the lab?
Many technologies that took great effort to develop and patent never make it into an actual business. On the other hand, companies that need new products often spend a great deal of time and money developing the necessary technology from scratch.
A technology transaction connects technology providers with technology seekers to realize the value of the technology. The provider earns royalty income, and the recipient saves development time and cost.
Types of technology transactions
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Assignment | Transferring the rights to a technology, such as a patent, outright |
| License | Keeping the rights while granting permission to use them on agreed terms in exchange for royalties |
| In-licensing | Finding and bringing in the technology you need from outside |
