The fashion for snapping up university intellectual property started by IP2IPO and Nanosys continues. Arrowhead Research, who have the rights to commercialisation of Caltechs nanotech patent portfolio announce exclusive rights to over 80 new U.S. and international patents and patent applications covering microfluidics and micromachines technology via their Nanotechnica, Inc. subsidiary.
As IP2IPO, Nanosys and BTG have recently found, a big IP portfolio may impress the girls, but it doesn’t pay the rent.
