|
Creating Your Account |
There is no requirement to log in
before you search and browse listings
 on
the Tynax exchange. However, in order to post listings and take
advantage of some of the more useful and advanced features, you
need to create a free account. This is done by selecting the
"Create Free Account" link in the login menu on the left of the
screen. |
| Creating your account involves
accepting the terms and conditions: |
 |
| You need to enter your email
address, username, password, etc. Note: the email address
is where inquiries from your listings will be directed.
You can edit and amend your email address, password and other
information at any time. |
 |
|
 Logging In
When
you log in to your Tynax account, you will be directed to your
account console. So, please make a note of your username
and password.
If you lose your password, you can request that it is emailed to
the email address associated with your account.
After logging in, the Login Box changes to indicate the number
of listings you have in your account. The "Log In" button
changes to "Log Out" and we recommend for security reasons that
you log out after you have completed your session. |
|
Your Account Console |
| After logging in, you will be directed to Your
Account Console. This is where you create and manage your
listings and subscribe to other Tynax services. As you can
see, the tabs indicate the various capabilities and services
available from your console. |
 |
|
Creating Your Listings |
 From
Your Account Console, you are able to create your own listings.
From the Technology Available tab, you can create listings of
patents, portfolios available for sale. From the
Technology Wanted tab, you can post listings for technologies
and patents you are interested in acquiring. |
| After deciding to create a Technology Available
listing, you will be presented with a form. On this form,
you are required to create a name for your listing. This
name will be published on the Tynax website and circulated to
our syndication partners. |
 |
| It is our policy to keep listings anonymous, and
encourage viewers to make contact with you to request more
information by clicking the "Tell Me More" button on your
listing (see below). So, please make sure that the name
you select for your listing does not disclose your company,
products or patent numbers. |
| As well as the name of the listing, the deal
structure you are looking for is the next required field.
This is where you indicate the type of transaction arrangement
you are seeking. |
 |
| If your listing includes patents,
you can enter the patent numbers into the table below. Note: the
patent numbers will not be published
with your listing. |
 |
| After entering a patent number and
clicking "Add Patent" below, the patent record will be retrieved
from the public patent records online. This gives you the
ability to check that you have entered the patent number
correctly. Note: some patent records, such as new
applications, are not publicly from the USPTO or other public
websites. |
 |
| We provide you with hidden fields
that enable you to track the pricing expectations and other
information in relation to your listing. This information
is to assist you in centralizing the information you have
related to a listing, tracking your sales activity and it is not
published on our website or circulated to viewers. |
|
 After
your listing is completed, you submit it by indicating your
asset to the terms and selecting the "Finish" button. At this
point, the listing is not yet active, but is in "Pending"
status. |
While the listing is Pending it is viewable only by
yourself--after logging in with your username and password. You
may find it useful to view the listing, edit it and continue to
prepare the information while it remains in "Pending" state. |
| When you look at your account
console, you will see your listings, the Status and a number of
Actions available. |
 |
To post your listing live, select
the "Pay Now" link from your account console. You will
then be presented with a number of payment options.
You can pay by credit card or check.
If you post a number of listings and have a relationship with
Tynax, you may have been provided with a promotion code.
In this case, to post the listing live, you simply enter your
promotion code into the box provided and click "Apply". |
 |
| |
|
Editing/Amending Your Listings |
 Whether
your listing is Pending or Live, you are able to edit and modify
your listing at any time from Your Account Console. Simply log
in and navigate to your account console. Select Edit from
the menu. |
| After selecting "Edit", you will be provided with
an menu allowing you to edit the public information such as the
listing details, and the hidden confidential information such as
the patent and sales information. Please try to keep the
information and status of your listing up to date. |
 |
|
Promoting Your Listings |
| Your listing can be made available to the public,
or access can be restricted to a small number of qualified
buyers. |
 |
| If the listing is public, it will
be circulated and made available to viewers on the Tynax
website, our partner websites, and syndicated to other sites and
viewers through RSS feeds, email alerts and other channels. |
 |
| You are able to invite viewers to
see your listing by providing their email address and a message
by clicking the "Invite" link in your Account Console. |
 |
| |
|
Monitoring Listing Activity |
 After
reading your listing, a viewer may wish to gather more
information. The "Tell Me More" feature is provided with
each listing and this is how you generate inquiries and
prospects |
| After clicking the "Tell Me More" button from
your listing, the viewer is presented with a form. This is
where they request more information, and provide their contact
details. Upon submitting their request, the viewers
inquiry is emailed directly to you, using the email address you
provided when creating your account. |
 |
| As well as receiving email inquiries, you are
able to monitor the listing activity for each of your listings
from Your Account Console. Simply select "Activity" from
the list of options for your listing. This page displays
all the inquiries you have received and shows the number of
times your listing has been viewed. |
 |
| |
|
Exporting Your Listings |
 You
are able to save the contents of your Tynax listings on your own
PC by selecting the "Export Listings" button from Your Account
Console. This creates an Excel export of the information
contained in your listing. You are able to save this to
your PC and use it for your own sales tracking and other
purposes. You will be prompted to save the file on your
PC. |
 |
| |
Bookmarking Listings
|
When you
 see
a listing of interest, you can bookmark it using by clicking on
the .bookmark button on the listing page. This will add the
bookmarked listing to your account. Note: you must be logged in
for the bookmark system to identify you and add the listing to
your account.
From your account console you will see a Bookmarks tab that
contains all the bookmarked listings you are tracking . |
 |
By pulling down the Priority menu
button you can set the priority level for each listing:
|
In the Action menu from the
bookmark tab in your account console you will s ee
a Notes button. By clicking here, you can add notes to a
bookmarked listing. The notes feature allows you to track
and organize your thoughts and correspondence related to a
bookmarked listing. You will see that you can also tag listings
and manage them through a tagging system that you define
yourself. |
|
|
Inviting Viewers to Listings |
In the action menu in the bookmark tab in your
account console, you
will see an Invite button. By clicking here, you will be
directed to a page where you can invite other people to view the
listing. You enter the person's name and email address and
a short message, and an email will be sent to the viewer with a
