Pre-attorney diligence for university IP

Is a university technology actually licensable?

Before you spend $10,000 to $50,000 on an attorney's opinion (or worse, license a dud), find out whether a marketed university technology is worth pursuing. Describe what you want to license and IPNEX answers in plain language over its cited corpus, surfacing the deal-killers the listing never shows: whether the patent is still in force (not expired and free for anyone to use), who owns it now (not quietly assigned away), and how many years of exclusive term remain, all distilled into one Licensability Score.

A fast, honest pre-attorney screen for founders and investors doing diligence on US university IP: cited enough to act on, to take to your counsel, and that an AI agent can cite. It is not legal advice and not a substitute for an attorney. Patent data is Google Patents (CC BY 4.0) + USPTO (public domain); we link to the original listing, we do not reproduce it.
