Tekcapital Launches App to Search Global University IP

Tekcapital plc (AIM: TEK), an international provider of technology and intellectual property services, announces that it has launched a new mobile device application ('App') that facilitates the searching of intellectual properties from universities worldwide.

Designed to help companies address the quickening pace of innovation, the Tekcapital App provides access to information on international university patents across the range of disciplines. The app automatically indexes a user's progress and can export patent data via email for easy sharing. The app is also linked to Tekcapital's Invention Evaluator service, enabling the user to assess for an additional fee, the commercial potential of any patent that can be found via the app. The app's objective is to allow the user to locate, review and license university technologies with ease. The app's low cost, integration with Invention Evaluator, and functionality complements other services provided by Tekcapital which serves to make it a gateway for organic discovery of the rest of the Company's offerings.

The app is currently available on iPhone. The Board believes that the app is a competitively priced and specialized new tool for finding promising university innovations.
