LICENSING

New technology is challenging, costly and time consuming to develop. In today’s fast-paced world, partnering to use technology in new and better ways can be as effective as creating the IP itself. GE’s Licensing team provides access to GE’s patent portfolio and technical and intellectual resources. Licensees receive world-leading technology paired with advice and guidance to accelerate their technology development and achieve market differentiation.

How We Partner

Bilateral Licensing

Whether it’s structuring, negotiating and closing transactions related to licensing GE patents, trademarks or copyrights, or raising capital by selling non-core intellectual property, we have a track record of monetizing a wide range of asset classes.

Partnerships

Our partnerships come in the form of pool creation and business acceleration. We stand up new patent pools to drive industry standards, facilitate market adoption of new technologies and return value to the innovators. We also collaborate with external partners to create vibrant business models and new companies for long term IP monetization.

Technology Transfer

We train and guide partners in transferring of technology and know-how, and overseeing the wing-to-wing process of onboarding new technology.

OUR INDUSTRY ACUMEN

We License IP and Technology in the Following Areas

Trademark

Throughout our 125+year history, the GE Trademark has stood the test of time. By licensing the GE Trademark we help our partners leverage the intangible qualities associated with it to drive their own growth. Our focus is on helping our partners extract value in GE’s adjacent markets where brand recognition is strongest.
Partnership example: ExxonMobil and GE partnered to launch a co-branded oil for gas turbines that improves turbine bearing efficiency by up to 15%. Developed in collaboration with GE, this gas turbine oil is the first and only lubricant to meet the GE’s Energy Efficient (EE) GEK 121603 turbine oil specification, which GE developed exclusively for its high-performance turbines.
