2XFR: A QUICKER, BETTER SECURE LICENSING PROCESS

Call it what you'd like, but technology transfer, invention licensing, cross-licensing, licensing-in, licensing-out, exclusive license, non-exclusive license, and license option are all fundamentally the same in the most important aspect: at the end of the day, the owner of a patent licenses rights in that patent to another party which hopes to commercialize it for a profit.

The traditionally frustrating process CAN be simplified, and more business can be transacted if both parties come to the table knowledgeable, ready and able to seal a deal. 2XFR helps both parties simplify the deal.

Our Tech-XFR guidelines for inventors, licensees and attorneys are founded on decades of real world front line experience, and lay forth a suggested foundation for all parties to quickly move through the phases of licensing, and close a deal (without bring in third parties who can frustrate negotiations). It will seem like common sense ... and it is. Don't make the process more complicated than it is. "Do the deal" and get on with business.
