IBM is launching a new licensing programme with the venture capital community to help startup companies accelerate the development of innovative solutions in the marketplace.
The IBM Ventures in Collaboration Programme will give venture capital firms and their portfolio companies access to the broadest range of intellectual property in the industry. This includes over 40,000 hardware, software and services patents.
The programme also provides startups with the opportunity to partner with IBM's inventor community to access the technology behind the patents, thereby stimulating new thinking around IBM's existing intellectual property.
