The Intellectual Property (IP) Marketplace Platform, also called Patents 4 Partnerships is an initiative of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that brings together those who have technologies and want to make them available for licensing and those who have an interest in and the ability to commercialize the technologies. The IP Marketplace Platform provides a voluntary listing of patents and patent application publications (pre-grant publications, pgpubs) indicated as *available for licensing* on external public websites or in the USPTO Patent Official Gazette Notices.

Registered patent practitioners are individuals who have passed the USPTO's registration exam and met the qualifications to represent patent applicants before the USPTO. Trademark practitioners are attorneys who are active members in good standing of the bar of the highest court of any State. NOTE: Because Trademark attorneys need not apply for registration to practice trademark law before the USPTO, the USPTO does not maintain a roster of trademark attorneys. The names of attorneys who specialize in trademark law may be found online, or by contacting a local bar association.
