How does OIPMIL find licensees?
Often the best sources for potential licensees are the inventors since they are likely to know about people and companies doing work related to the field they are inventing in. If they can identify one or more companies which may be interested, then OIPMIL has resources available which will enable them to identify other U.S companies working in the same field, and the key contacts in those companies. Once appropriate companies are identified, targeted mailing letters are sent to the appropriate contacts in those companies. If appropriate, the companies may be contacted by phone. Our available technologies are also publicized on our webpage and in selected technology licensing publications and databases. In some cases press releases are widely distributed. Of course, if the invention arose during the performance of industry sponsored research, the research contract may have granted the sponsor certain IP rights, in which case we may already have a probable licensee.
