“Ocean Tomo continues to push the development of a truly liquid marketplace.  The Dean's List allows widespread access to IP otherwise inaccessible to most parties."

Welcome to The Dean's List

What is The Dean’s List?
The Dean’s List is an online IP exchange that brings IP buyers and sellers together unlike anything currently offered in the market. Through each listing the IP owner highlights the benefits of their property thus effectively communicating the importance and appeal of their assets. The mission of The Dean’s List is to expand the array of options for IP sellers and buyers while creating a liquid market for these historically illiquid assets.

How does it work?
The Dean’s List overcomes present hurdles of purchasing intellectual property by building an unique open forum. Unlike other online offerings, The Dean’s List is an open network allowing maximum exposure. This open network ensures the easy viewing of the technology or assets available in a non threatening manner that appeals to the buyers of IP today. Intellectual assets available for sale or license are listed in one or more of the 130 plus technology sectors. Additionally, the built-in search engine allows buyers to easily find technologies which peak their interest. The Dean’s List offers the greatest amount of control and versatility in the IP marketplace.

The Dean’s List is the first open classified environment focused on intellectual property. By continuing the creation of an IP marketplace, The Dean’s List offers several considerable advantages.

• Our presentation of your technology is second to none. Our straightforward approach and ease of use allows sellers and buyers to connect more efficiently than any other system.
  
  
• The Dean’s List offers the greatest range of flexibility and control. You control what viewers see on each listing. Features like multimedia upload and ability to link to any document or other web site enable you to give the maximum amount of information to potential buyers.
  
  
• There are no cumbersome barriers for buyers. Our goal is to make sure that potential buyers can see your IP quickly. We do not charge any transaction fees. Unlike competitors’ products, which can charge up to 40% of the total transaction, the only fee to the seller is a one time up front listing fee. Sellers keep all of the money generated by the transaction.
  
  
• Ocean Tomo, as the leader in creating a liquid marketplace, actively markets IP though successful programs such as the Ocean Tomo Live IP Auctions. Through these connections Dean’s List sellers receive the maximum exposure to existing IP purchasers.
  
  
• Access to premium analytical tools, via the Ocean Tomo Patent Ratings software platform.
