  • 1.  Licensing or use of patents in products

    Posted 09-22-2010 20:47

    Dear Colleagues,

     

    I wonder if it is possible to find out whether a patent has been licensed and/or applied in a commercial product? Is there a source for that?

    There is a simple search function at the US Patent and Trademark office that will give you much of the information you are looking for.

    Dear Erwin,

    US Patent Office has a website titled PAIR (Patent Assignment and Information Retrieval). If you have the patent number (Application # or Publication# or the Granted Patent Number#) with you, you can enter it in the corresponding text box, access the filewrapper and download the transaction history of the patent. The transaction history might include the information you are looking for.

    Hope this helps.

    Sincerely,
    Mukundhan
