SPARKIP EXTENDS RESEARCH CAPABILITIES WITH FIVE NEW ORGANIZATIONS

Online Intellectual Property Network Increases Listings Through
Addition of Universities and Research Labs

SparkIP, an online intellectual property (IP) research and
marketplace platform, today announced the addition of five new leading
institutions' technologies, bringing the total to 8,350 available
technologies online. SparkIP allows IP researchers, universities,
government labs and corporate research centers to enhance their
previous text-only searches to more robust and sophisticated
contextual analysis and connects buyers and sellers of intellectual
property through a true online marketplace. Today's additions to
SparkIP's list of institutions include Columbia University, Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory, Leiden University, Lehigh University and
the University of Tennessee, Research Foundation.

SparkIP is the world's largest actively managed IP marketplace,
with more than 8,350 available technologies from 33 leading research
institutions. By combining the IP marketplace with powerful research
tools, SparkIP is able to present relevant opportunities to buyers and
licensees in context. SparkIP's SparkClusters(TM) also provide users
with a snapshot of the innovation landscape, allowing them to see a
broader set of relevant data and discover typically unseen results or
connections that are often times missed through text-only query tools.
Through SparkClusters(TM), users can also easily navigate a specific
area of innovation to understand the key companies, innovators and
patented inventions that are driving change.

Recently, SparkIP announced the creation of two new
packages/pricing programs to allow customers the appropriate level of
access and support for business goals and needs. The Individual Silver
subscription is designed for single users and is offered on a month to
month basis. The Enterprise Gold subscription is for organizations
with multiple users seeking to leverage the complete set of SparkIP
advanced features. Universities and research labs are eligible for
discounted pricing on enterprise subscriptions and also have the
ability to post all technologies to the marketplace for free without
transaction fees or other charges.

"SparkIP's mission is to be the most comprehensive source for
intellectual property research," said Ed Trimble, chief executive
officer of SparkIP. "We hope to be the first and only online
destination for researchers and inventors. The improvements we have
made during the past few months are maximizing the SparkIP user
experience through the use of detailed research tools including
portfolio profiling, white space analysis, competitive analysis and
R&D planning. We strive to keep our users' needs top of mind and will
continue making site improvements based upon feedback from our
community."
