Need a Deep Web Miner to retrieve hard-to-find life sciences research?

How about a cell therapy manufacturing system?

A self-coiling surgical tool?

Then Battelle might have the intellectual property for you.

The Columbus, Ohio, research science and technology development institute has launched a searchable database of patents for these and 60 other  security, energy technology, and health and life sciences innovations, which you can have for a licensing fee. And more license-able patents are on the way.

Founded by the will of Gordon Battelle more than 80 years ago, the charitable trust operates on the founding principle of transferring technology through commercialization. Kinda makes you wonder why Battelle waited until today to throw open its technology transfer portal.

“The companies that contact Battelle to acquire breakthrough technologies are seeking a respected partner that’s in the business of research and development for the long haul,” said Jeff Wadsworth, the institute’s president and chief executive, in a release.

“Intellectual property is one of our strengths,” Wadsworth went on, “and a major example of how Battelle helps companies it works with become more competitive and accelerate innovation.”

If you find some intellectual property (IP) you want to license, Battelle can help you use. “Battelle intellectual property also can be a springboard for new technologies, and we are well suited to do more contract R&D for our partners to advance or optimize that application,” Spencer Pugh, the institute’s vice president and manager of Industrial and International Markets, said in the release.

Battelle does about $6.2 billion in global research and development a year through contract research, laboratory management and technology commercialization.
