Under U.S. law, an inventor has the right to exclude others from making, selling or using his/her patented invention. Unfortunately, infringers are generally unwilling to pay royalties for their unauthorized use of third party patents and fight any allegations of infringement. Inventors and small patent holders without any financial resources to bring legal action lack credibility in dealing with unwilling licensees and are often blatantly ignored.

We have a proven track record of success with more than 500 licenses, including a number of multi-million dollar settlements from some of the world’s largest corporations, and have a team of experienced professional staff, including in-house patent attorneys, licensing executives and engineers. With approximately $50 million in working capital, we are able to bring and sustain legal actions against infringers, if and when necessary.

As businesses evolve, patents once believed to be core to a company’s business may later become non-essential or unrelated. Further, significant portions of existing company patent portfolios may languish, generating no revenue while incurring maintenance expenses. Such patents may be turned into revenue if assigned or licensed to us.
