UNSPSC 64141501: International patent

A set of exclusive rights, recognized internationally, granted by a sovereign state as a signatory to the Patent Cooperation Treaty PCT of 1970 to an inventor or assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for detailed public disclosure of an invention. An invention is a solution to a specific technological problem and is a product or a process.

UNSPSC 64141501 International patent is a Commodity code showing minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to patent acquisition or licensing: the Texas Workforce Commission issued IFB 3202600214 on August 28, 2026 (due October 6, 2026) for an adaptive tractor and front-end loader attachment package for vocational rehabilitation, including delivery, assembly, and on-site training; and the Mississippi Department of Human Services posted an RFQ on August 3, 2026 (due August 21, 2026) for a fulltime Statewide Property Auditor (Procurement Officer II) contract role at $59,500 annually. Neither represents intellectual-property procurement. The mismatch between the code's stated purpose and the work actually being bought suggests the code currently sees little relevant recent activity in state and local contracting.

Without recent opportunities genuinely soliciting patent services, legal rights acquisition, or patent licensing under this code, no meaningful issuing-body mix or geographic concentration can be characterized from the source material. The two opportunities named above are isolated instances miscoded to the patent Commodity rather than representative of active procurement under 64141501.
