The United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") has recently launched a web-based Intellectual Property marketplace platform named "Patents 4 Partnership". The IP marketplace platform provides a centralized database for patent owners to list U.S. patents and publications that are available for licensing, and for potential licensees to search for available technologies. The initial release of the platform focuses on listing technologies related to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19, but the USPTO has indicated that the platform may be expanded to include other technologies in the future.
