IP Marketplace Platform API (Version 1)

The Intellectual Property (IP) Marketplace Platform, also called Patents 4 Partnerships is an initiative of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that brings together those who have technologies and want to make them available for licensing and those who have an interest in and the ability to commercialize the technologies. The IP Marketplace Platform provides a voluntary listing of patents and patent application publications (pre-grant publications, pgpubs) indicated as available for licensing on external public websites or in the USPTO Patent Official Gazette Notices. It also offers a link to sources that include the licensing information.
