You may license your patent exclusively or to more than one party. In addition, chambers of commerce, banks, and locally-financed industrial development organizations may be able to help you locate manufacturers and individuals interested in developing your ideas. Also, for a fee, the PTO will publish in its official gazette a notice that your patent is available for licensing or sale. For more information about how to approach companies with patented ideas, we recommend you read as much as possible on the subject.
Many inventors turn to invention marketers to gain access to manufacturers.
