ITC Liaisons

ITC Liaisons
Ideas Trading Center LLC (ITC) is building a global marketplace ecosystem for the acquisition and commercialization of filed Provisional Patent Applications (PPAs) filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). In this ecosystem, ITC Liaisons and ITC Ambassadors function as two complementary sides of ITC's global marketplace structure.
While ITC Ambassadors primarily function toward companies, acquirers, investors, and buyers of filed PPAs, ITC Liaisons primarily function toward inventors, researchers, startup founders, engineers, patent attorneys, entrepreneurs, and other potential sources of ideas and PPAs.
Together, ITC Liaisons and ITC Ambassadors help create a bridge between innovation sources and organizations seeking strategic technologies and intellectual property opportunities.
ITC Liaisons serve as professional connection points between the innovation community and ITC.
The primary role of ITC Liaisons is to help identify and introduce:
- New ideas with strong commercial potential
- Pre-filed PPAs suitable for commercialization through ITC
- Inventors and innovators seeking a structured path to monetize their ideas
- Universities, startups, researchers, and technical professionals with commercially relevant concepts
ITC Liaisons are not employees, brokers, attorneys, or investment advisors. Their role is relationship-oriented and opportunity-focused.
ITC Liaisons do not negotiate transactions or provide legal, financial, or investment advice.
Why This Role Is Important
Many valuable ideas never reach the marketplace because inventors lack:
- Awareness of commercialization pathways
- Access to potential acquirers
- Funding for patent filing and development
- Business infrastructure and visibility
- Connections to organizations capable of acquiring or advancing their inventions
ITC was created to help bridge this gap through a structured marketplace model centered around filed PPAs.
ITC Liaisons help expand this ecosystem by introducing qualified inventors, ideas, and pre-filed PPAs to ITC.
Typical Sources of Opportunity
In appropriate situations, ITC may assist in converting selected ideas into filed PPAs for commercialization through the ITC marketplace.
Potential sources may include:
- Engineers and scientists
- Patent attorneys and patent agents
- Corporate employees with unused ideas
- Startup founders and startup engineers
- University researchers and graduate students
- Product and industrial designers
- Small-business owners and entrepreneurs
- Retired professionals and technical experts
Compensation Structure
ITC Liaisons may qualify for compensation based on successful outcomes associated with introductions and opportunities generated through their efforts.
Examples may include:
- Ideas submitted to ITC and successfully commercialized
- Pre-filed PPAs introduced to ITC and sold through ITC
- Other qualified business opportunities accepted by ITC
Specific participation and compensation arrangements may be determined by ITC from time to time.
Ideal Characteristics of ITC Liaisons
Effective ITC Liaisons are generally:
- Business-aware
- Proactive
- Professional
- Relationship-oriented
- Self-confident
- Ethical and trustworthy
- Interested in innovation and commercialization
- Comfortable communicating with inventors, professionals, and organizations
Global Opportunity

Together, ITC Liaisons and ITC Ambassadors help support the continued expansion of ITC's global marketplace ecosystem by connecting innovation sources with organizations seeking strategic technologies and intellectual property opportunities.
