Companies don't buy patents — they buy solutions. Post an Innovation Order and IEM's agent stack scans 600M+ patents and papers, matches verified innovations, prices them instantly, and closes in escrow. If it doesn't exist yet, we scope the build.
Every open corporate need — anonymized, machine-readable, and being matched right now. Innovators and agents alike can read the book and respond.

Six specialized agents pick up your order the second you submit it. Every step is logged, auditable, and visible in your order dashboard.
Function-based semantic search across 600M+ patents & papers plus IEM's verified inventory — matching what the technology does, not just what it's called.
Scout AgentRanked candidate list with fit scores against your technical requirements, budget band, and timeline. Noise filtered, signal ranked.
Match AgentTech Passport on every candidate: ownership chain, encumbrances, litigation history, and a freedom-to-operate pre-scan — before you ever see it.
Diligence AgentInstant IEM Score plus royalty comparables drawn from 85K+ benchmark rates. You see a defensible price range, not a guess.
Valuation AgentMatched innovators submit standardized proposals — same structure, same terms grid — so you compare side-by-side instead of decoding decks.
Broker AgentEscrowed license or purchase on standard paper. Nothing fits? An AI-scoped commissioned development SOW with milestone escrow instead.
Build AgentThe moment your order hits the book, the Scout Agent starts a full-corpus sweep. Candidates flow through verification and valuation automatically; you only spend time on proposals that already cleared diligence.
Pick one route or let the agents recommend — most orders run Match and License in parallel, with Commission as the fallback.
License or buy a verified innovation already listed on IEM. Tech Passport done, IEM Score published, escrow ready — fastest path to a working solution.
Standardized exclusive and non-exclusive license SKUs per field-of-use. Fixed terms, published pricing, no six-month negotiation.
Nothing fits? The Build Agent scopes a custom R&D / engineering SOW — milestones, deliverables, and IP terms — funded through milestone escrow.
Post a prize challenge to the global solver network. Pay only for the winning solution; the agents handle screening, verification, and payout.
No retainers, no hidden brokerage spread, no "call us" pricing. The fee schedule below is the whole fee schedule.
