We acquire infringed patents that cover products or services generating at least $100 million of revenue annually in the United States and are able to quickly review evidence of use if already prepared and to assess potential infringement if suspected. Portfolios should have issued US patents while foreign counterparts are welcome and valued accordingly.

Technology areas of interest include, but are not limited to, mobile handsets, wireless transmission, semiconductors, displays (LCD/LED/OLED), storage, audio/video transmission and codecs, telecommunications, security, PC/server hardware, networking equipment, data centers, cloud computing, Internet of Things, graphical user interfaces, and software. 

Acquisitions can be for cash, a blend of cash & backend, or backend only depending on patent owner objectives. With over $500 million of term sheets issued and dozens of closed deals, we run each acquisition opportunity through an efficient process towards an expedient and successful close.

We exclusively represent patent owners in the sale of their patents. While evidence of infringement is helpful, it is not required as our team can develop evidence of use where possible. We also drive the development of the marketing collateral, which is tailored for each patent sale.

We use a bespoke approach for connecting with prospective buyers wherein we develop a target list of buyers for each patent sale and do not over market each sale. This results in better responsiveness and attention from prospective buyers while preserving the value of the patents for sale. We have a global network of buyers that have been cultivated over many years, while we use patent analytic tools to identify additional potential buyers to customize the target list for each sale.

With well over $100 million of brokered patent transactions, we have the reputation and expertise to successfully and diligently close patent transactions.

We provide strategic buy-side representation for entities seeking to acquire patents that drives successful, cost-effective, and efficient transactions. Our assistance can include target identification, patent valuation, due diligence, and negotiations, and is focused on helping clients secure patents that align with their objectives.

We work closely with clients to identify innovation opportunities, draft high-quality patent applications, and align patent strategies with business goals. Whether a startup or an established corporation, we provide tailored guidance to maximize the value of a patent portfolio and enhance the businesses’ competitive edge.

We identify the best pathways to maximize revenue from patent portfolios. Our approach involves identifying patents that are core to a business and then developing executable monetization strategies for non-core patents, whether through licensing, sale, enforcement, or strategic partnerships, Strategies will typically include determining target pricing and prospects, potential monetization partners, required investment if any (capital and people), projected expenses, timeframe, and potential returns and risks.

We analyze patent portfolios to identify high-value patents, redundant or underutilized assets, and opportunities for monetization or divestment. By assessing competitive landscapes and business goals, we provide actionable insights to strengthen core innovations, eliminate unnecessary filings, and enhance overall patent efficiency. Whether looking to streamline maintenance costs, improve monetization potential, or ensure stronger patent protection, we enable data-driven decision-making to build more strategic, valuable, and cost-effective patent portfolios.

IP portfolios can be very difficult to fully understand as they grow in size and geographic coverage. If there is prior IP licensing or assignment history, the difficulty becomes exponential. We take a methodical and thorough approach to identify each IP asset, understand its geographic coverage and expiration date, and identify any dilution of rights that may have occurred in the past. We also provide full visibility into the status of all IP in development, including upcoming office response and payment deadlines, and fees due for granted IP.

With a thorough inventory and IP analysis, our clients can feel confident that there will not be any surprises or balls dropped post-transaction.

We provide a comprehensive evaluation of company’s patent portfolio to identify which patents directly relate to its products and services and is core to the business strategy and growth.

Our analysis highlights key patents and potential gaps, which can be shored up through new patent development and/or acquisition.

We systematically evaluate competitors’ patent portfolios to identify key innovations and technology trends. The analysis includes assessing patent strength and relevance to a target company’s business, geographic coverage, filing trends, and citation networks to determine competitive positioning.
