Most scientists are now keenly aware of the need to patent their discoveries. However, scientists are not business people and most patented research sits idle without reaching its full potential. This is due to a number of reasons including the most important reason: the key people havent seen it and those that have seen it cannot recognize its value. This is due to a woefully inadaquate level of cross discipline knowledge. Often, research in one field could be utilized very effectively in another but is not given the chance because the language describing the patent is specific for the field in which it was written.
ProGenomics Bio-Patent Post endevours to include a "laymens terms" posting of your patent, so that people in cross-discipline research areas can recognize the value of your patent as it applies to their own research and business goals. Stop struggling to find ways to use the fruits of your research efforts and let those ways find you.
