There is no charge to any of our customers for our initial investigation. Typically, there is never any cost to the scientists that we work with. Our process is straightforward and, in the case of a typical licensing scenario, might look something like this:

1. We meet with you to discuss your technology. Depending on the complexity of your invention, we may meet several times to get a general understanding of your technology and its potential applications.
2. After meeting with you, we will typically do some limited market research or other investigation to help determine our degree of interest in licensing your invention.
3. If we determine that there is a good fit between your invention and our focus, we will work with you or your research institution to negotiate a license.
4. Depending on your interest in ongoing involvement, we may hire you to help with proof-of-concept or further development.
