Academic Sources

Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM).  Charges: None. Excellent web site with links to University, Goverment (probably the best list on the net including NIH, DOD, DOE, US Millitary, NASA, and State agencies), and organizational tech transfer offices and databases. Includes some links to organizations outside of the US.  In addition, there are many other useful links: 

Technology Exchange.

An interesting use of push technology can be found at the Technology exchange developed by Yale University.  Representatives from tech transfer offices (seeking or selling technology) can sign up to have info on technologies of interest sent to you electronically.  Lists are provided for participating universities (92) and companies (240).

Combined Federal and Corporate Databases:

Knowledge Express Database Service (KEDS) provides access to 23+ databases. KEDS covers both governmental and corporate technology data sources. Patents, business news sources, financing sources, licensing opportunities, research activities, laboratory and company directories, technology needs/capabilities sites, as well as several financial databases. Charges: $3500 for 1 yr. site license.

Note: This is an extremely powerful method to search for technology.  If your corporation does not have a license, you may be able to find an information broker who will perform a search for you under their license.

A number of these databases can be accessed directly from their publisher (*); fees may apply.

  • The Acquisition, Technology, Transfer, Licensing and Source of Capital Directory, ATTLAS (from Medical Economics). Includes U.S. and international companies
  • BioScan* (from American Health Consultants): Directory of biotechnology companies; includes R & D activities, product pipeline, collaborations and license agreements.
  • CorpTech (from Corporate Technology Information Services) Directory with 40,000+ technology developers and manufacturers. Use it to determine who has the technology and who needs it
  • Federal Bio-Technology Transfer Directory (from Biotechnology Information Institute)
  • Federal Research in Progress (FEDRIP) (from NTIS)
  • Grants. (from Oryx Press)
  • MicroPatent Alert (from MPA)* U.S. and European patents.
  • Small Business Innovation Research Awards, SBIRs (from NTIS)
  • Company, federal laboratory and university technologies that available for licensing (from KEDS, Biotechnology Information Institute, or Klenner Intl)
