IP-LINK™: Discover licensable university IP — and the funding to advance it
A global platform connecting startups, investors, and tech-transfer offices with university technologies and the grants that can bring them to market.
IP-LINK is a funding-aware University IP discovery platform that connects licensable university technologies with active grant opportunities and commercialization strategy. Instead of navigating fragmented technology transfer portals and separate funding databases, innovation leaders gain structured visibility across University IP and the capital pathways that can move it forward.
Whether you are launching a spinout, scouting technologies, or aligning research with funding strategy, IP-LINK brings University IP and opportunity into one unified environment.
University IP is scattered. IP-LINK brings it together.
University technologies are often spread across many institutional portals, while grant opportunities live in entirely separate systems. IP-LINK connects those worlds so users can search more efficiently and make more informed decisions.
What IP-LINK helps you do
With IP-LINK, users can search licensable university IP, identify relevant funding opportunities, review related award activity, and explore possible commercialization paths from one platform.
Built for innovation leaders
IP-LINK is designed for startups, tech transfer offices, researchers, investors, and corporate innovation teams that need a clearer way to evaluate university technologies and funding fit. It works alongside existing university systems rather than replacing them.
A funding-aware AI layer
IP-LINK is more than a university IP database. Its AI-supported discovery layer helps connect technologies with active funding opportunities, related awards, and possible commercialization directions so users can reduce search time and move faster.
For universities
ScienceDocs works with universities that want to increase the visibility of their intellectual property. IP-LINK gives institutions an additional discovery channel that can direct interested parties back to their tech transfer or licensing office. Participation is non-exclusive and does not replace an institution’s existing portal.
If your university is not yet included, or if you would like us to verify your institution’s information, please contact us.
University Partners
ScienceDocs partners with universities around the world to increase the visibility and impact of their intellectual property. By including your portfolio in IP-LINK, your technologies become discoverable to vetted startups, investors, and corporate innovation teams actively seeking licensable IP. Participation is non-exclusive and does not replace your existing portal—it simply provides an additional discovery channel that drives inquiries back to your TTO or licensing office. If you are unsure whether your institution has already been included, or if you would like your portfolio added, we welcome you to reach out. Our team will work directly with your TTO administrator to ensure accurate listings and proper points of contact.
