Ipnex

io.github.engrossa/ipnex

Connects to university tech transfer patent data through the IPNEX API. You get cited patent intelligence with confidence scores for US university out-licensing opportunities. Reach for this when you're doing tech scouting, competitive analysis around academic IP, or building workflows that need to track which university patents are available for licensing. The confidence stamping means you're not just getting raw patent data but assessed intelligence on commercialization potential. Built on streamable HTTP transport, so you can handle larger result sets without memory issues when querying across multiple institutions or technology domains.
