PRINCETON, N.J., July 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — IP Shakti, an early stage biomedical fund, has announced the launch of PipeLinX™, a new concept in open innovation solutions. The industry push toward externalization has grown in recent years, but sorting through the incoming volume of technologies is often inefficient and resource consuming. The PipeLinX™ service solves those problems by sorting through the world of university technology to focus on the best emerging technologies in the field.
PipeLinX™ helps capture university technology and intellectual property opportunities, which are the center of open innovation strategy. According to the AUTM Licensing Survey (FY2011), universities in the United States spent about $61.4 billion on research leading to 21,800 inventions and 19,900 new patent applications. PipeLinX™ considers the entire US university system, not just the top universities, before narrowing down the overwhelming number of technologies to a manageable number.
PipeLinX Reports™ were created to present due diligence information in a format that meets industry standards. Experienced industry scientists, patent attorneys and early stage entrepreneurs – not automated services – provide comprehensive coverage of a technology's strengths and weaknesses. The proprietary scoring system allows for a straightforward comparison between technologies and across fields of use. Reports are created that review, compare, and rank technologies based on patent, market and technological strengths. Some of the metrics used in the scoring system include the regulatory landscape, attractiveness for licensing, and comparable deals.
Each month, a new group of PipeLinX Reports™ will be revealed. Customized PipeLinX Reports™ are also available to meet the specific needs of companies, such as incorporating additional metrics.
PipeLinX™ is currently available as a subscription service. Each subscription gives the user access to past, present and future PipeLinX Reports™.
