One avenue of inventor assistance provided by United Patent Research is the licensing assistance of Universal Licensing (the licensing affiliate of United Patent Research). When a client of United Patent Research receives initial manufacture interest in the client’s invention, the client is encouraged to contact Universal Licensing. Universal Licensing then contacts the interested company and provides detailed information about the invention after a proper confidentiality agreement is signed. Universal Licensing provides step-by-step licensing assistance to the inventor until a licensing agreement is successfully entered into with a manufacturer.
