I've made a targeting vector with three LoxP sites. It is very convenient to prepare conditional constructs.I would like to kmow how can I shell it to any molecular biology company (Clontech, Stratagene, Invitrogen, Promega,...). I mean, there is smoe specific department in the companies to contact with about this subjet? |

I assume you want to "sell" it rather than "shell" it to other companies. Almost all major biotech companies have a web presence and a button on their site that say "Contact Us", or something to that effect. I've included below some of the detailed information for Clontech, and contact links for the other companies you mentioned. Once you're into the contact information, identify the "technical support" folks, and let them know (by phone, email, or on-line forms) about your innovation. Good luck! www.clontech.com/clontech/Contact.shtml Technical Support TEL*: 877-232-8995 650-424-8222 X5 FAX: 650-424-1064 EMAIL: Biological kits & reagents: tech@clontech.com Software: softwaretech@clontech.com FORM: Submit your questions to Technical Support **************** http://www.stratagene.com/contact.htm http://www.invitrogen.com/content.cfm?pageid=2784&nv=1 http://www.promega.com/worldwide/northamerica.htm |

Molecular biology isn't my field so I'm not exactly familiar with intellectual property for it, but I would suspect that you'll need to make sure you have done your homework on patent protection before starting to talk to potential buyers. If you disclose anything that is not yet protected (or publically disclosed), be sure you do it under the terms of suitable non-disclosure agreement. You don't want to accidentally give away what you're trying to sell. |

I assume that you did this work within a scientific institution. You need to be sure what your institution's policy is regarding intellectual property and technology transfer. Also, if your work was funded by an outside body, there might be constraints in that respect as well. Did you do the work all by yourself, or are there colleagues who may feel that have a claim as well? In terms of patenting your product, you might be better off pursuing this through your institution which should have people familiar with the legalities of the process. With respect to contacting companies, it might be worth identifying the person who is responsible to the Board for the company's R+D and making an approach to that individual. |
