Out-licensing Target Identification

Out-licensing Target Identification

SciTech Patent Art’s Out-licensing Target Identification service enables clients to effectively commercialize their IP by identifying strategic partners who show interest in related technologies. Leveraging deep domain expertise and AI-enabled tools, we map active companies, align their focus areas with client technologies, and deliver prioritized partner lists. Our insights help accelerate licensing discussions and unlock IP value.

Out-licensing target identification requires an in-depth understanding of a patent’s technical strength (vis-a-vis the next best alternative) along with an understanding of market needs. SPA’s analysts identify potential candidates based on technology differentiation studies and then work closely with in-market specialists in U.S., Japan and Europe to identify high potential targets. SPA’s deliverables involve not only identifying targets but also approaching the right contacts and facilitating initial meetings. SPA’s network also has individuals with extensive licensing experience who can aid in licensing negotiations.
