The UPLIFTT Program

UPLIFTT is a program that helps universities with licensing of patents which universities are not actively focused on

More than 63% of university patents end up abandoned – UPLIFTT focuses on patents that universities have allocated to a “passive” or “inactive” category and that will likely end up abandoned (AUTM Survey Data 2008-2018)

UPLIFTT focuses on challenging licensees that require substantial resources to pursue

UPLIFTT will create a “pool” of patents which are still assigned to the universities and provide revenues back to the university in a fair and equitable way from licensing

In situations where a standard essential patent (SEP) is created or the patents become part of a SEP, UPLIFTT can negotiate on behalf of the Universities.
