human: What Does a Non-confidential Technology Abstract Look Like?
assistant: A 'technology abstract' or non-confidential summary is a marketing document designed to stir the interest of commercial partners in an invention. A technology abstract should contain enough information for the company to get an idea of the technology, state of development, and application(s). Such a non-confidential disclosure comprises:• A summary of the technology developed which emphasizes the results achieved without ex-plaining how they are achieved.• The present state of the art of competing technologies available in the marketplace and their limitations.• Arguments why the new technology is superior and helps the licensee achieve a competitive advantage.This description should identify all possible specific uses of the technology. These may be individual areas of use of the technology for which separate licenses may be possible (e.g. different disease indications or markets such as diagnostics or therapy). The abstract can also state what the DKFZ is looking for, such as licensees and/or collaboration partners, animal models, etc.It is helpful if the inventor contributes actively to generating a non-confidential technology abstract. If necessary, however, the Office will produce an abstract based on the invention disclosure or the patent application, respectively.The Technology Abstract will be provided to industrial companies that are supposed or known to have an interest in the field of the invention.
