In addition, the Bayerische Patentallianz has started a technology blog which is administered by the patent and license managers. The blog at www.technology-transfer-blog.com not only provides information on current technology offers, innovations and inventions, but also on the latest research of 28 Bavarian universities and universities of applied sciences.

Furthermore the website of the Bayerische Patentallianz has been relaunched at www.baypat.de. It now offers the scientists of the Bavarian universities and businesses interested in innovation even more comprehensive information on inventions, patents and licenses. Since the website is now also available in English, international scientists at the Bavarian universities, in particular, will find it even easier to access information on the commercial protection of inventions and their marketing. They learn how the process from the invention to its exploitation operates, which inventions are patentable, how a patent could be endangered and how the inventions can be marketed to industry. In this way, international, forward-looking companies that are interested in proprietary inventions will also gain better access to the latest technology offerings of all Bavarian universities.
