For university TTOs
Faculty patents stay in PDFs that companies will not read.
Turn a specification into a business-facing listing and a research shortlist of AI-suggested companies. Open IP Market is not a technology-transfer office replacement. The TTO still owns policy, inventorship, and when to publish.

University TTOs, before and after a listing
Faculty patents often stay in PDFs that companies will not read. A listing and suggested companies help you brief industry. The TTO still decides policy, ownership, and when to publish.
Why faculty patents stay in PDFs
Faculty patents sit in PDFs that industry cannot scan quickly.
Claims language is not a one-page brief. Companies ask for a business-facing summary before they allocate a call.
It is hard to brief companies in business language.
Translating a specification into a listing takes time the TTO may not have. The preview generates a starting draft from the patent document.
Outreach capacity inside the TTO is limited.
Suggested companies from target search are a starting list, not confirmed licensees. The office still owns relationships and agreements.
What TTOs can prepare on the platform
A business-facing listing preview from the patent document.
Use it internally or with faculty before anything is public. Preview listings cannot be published to the marketplace.
Suggested companies from target search (not confirmed licensees).
Preview includes 2 searches of up to 15 AI-suggested companies each. Treat them as research, not a buyer pipeline.
Publish when the TTO is ready, on a paid slot.
Publishing is a paid-slot action. University IP ownership does not change because a listing exists on the platform.

What this is, and is not
Does this replace the technology-transfer office?
No. Open IP Market is the same slot SaaS inventors use. Policy, inventorship, and licensing decisions stay with the TTO. The product prepares materials. It does not run the office.
Who owns the listing and the university IP?
The Open IP Market account holder owns the listing record on the platform. University IP ownership is unchanged unless you later sign an agreement with a third party. Uploading a patent does not assign rights.
Is this legal advice or a valuation for the university?
No. Listings, documents, and evaluation reports are tools. Independent legal review remains the TTO's and counsel's responsibility. Evaluation is paid-only, 2 credits per run, beta structured due diligence, not a formal legal opinion or appraisal.
What do we get on the free preview?
A listing and documents, plus 2 searches of up to 15 AI-suggested companies each. Treat suggested companies as research, not confirmed licensees. Preview listings cannot be published. Evaluation is not included.
When should we publish a faculty listing?
When the TTO is ready and the account is on a paid slot (₹9,999 per year). Preview work can stay internal. Publishing puts a listing on the marketplace. Suggested companies remain suggestions, not confirmed licensees.
