IdeaConnection.com is the latest entrant in the online IP marketplace, offering more than 8,000 technologies for sale or license in a wide range of fields including aeronautics, biotechnology, chemistry, communications, engineering, solar and wind power, food science, geophysics, hydrogen fuel cells, nanotechnology, and computer science. Access to the resource, compliments of Vancouver, BC-based Online Data Services Ltd., is completely free. There is no charge to post a technology for sale or license or to list a technology wanted. It is free to search the entries, and free to confidentially contact the owner of each technology. Any university, corporation, government agency or private individual is welcome to post technologies for sale or license. Licensees or purchasers contact the technology owners directly and negotiate their own terms. IdeaConnection.com is not involved in, and does not collect a fee or percentage of any technology transfer that occurs. “We are excited about being able to give the business community this great resource,” says CEO Scott Wurtele. “Giving businesses free access to these technologies, all in one location, provides them with one more tool to help solve their problems.” The company’s core business is focused on a crowdsourcing approach, in which thousands of “Problem Solvers” from the U.S. and around the world are available to work collaboratively and confidentially on innovation challenges. The concept relies on the firm’s patent-pending ThinkSpace^TM, which allows companies to interact with a collaborative team of inventors and innovators chosen from a database “of the world’s best minds,” the company says.
