Marketing

OLV has the industry contacts and expertise to market your invention to both large and small companies.

As part of our marketing efforts, we will:

  • Leverage the invention manager’s in-depth understanding of the relevant market(s) to assign an appropriate valuation to the technology
  • Craft a technology opportunity report (TOR) for external communications
  • Begin conversing with contacts from corporations within the relevant market spaces

At the end of this process, it is our goal to move the invention into the final transaction phase, at which time the process of negotiation and licensing begins.

Additionally, OLV may recommend that your invention stand alone as a start-up company. If this course of action is appealing to you, OLV will work with you to provide the appropriate support.
