Turning Unused Patents Into Dollars
About Us
Who we are: A lawyer-engineer shop focused exclusively on turning under-monetized patents into revenue. We combine deep technical diligence and years of patent monetization/litigation experience with trial-ready discipline—and we finance campaigns internally so deals move fast.
What makes us different:
Limited focus: we only operate portfolios for individual owners and small companies—no brokering, no third-party funder herding.
Speed: we make go/no-go decisions quickly and begin seeking revenue immediately.
Selective by design: we run only a handful of programs per year for principal-level attention.
No warehousing: we don’t collect patents—either we proceed with monetization or we give them back.
Our Process
We run a single, end-to-end program: we take control of the assets, build the evidence, engage targets, and handle filings and negotiations—then distribute proceeds per the agreement.
1) Intake (days)
You share the basics: chain of title, priority dates, known encumbrances, and a short description of the technology. We do a quick screen to confirm there’s a plausible path and outline proposed economics.
2) Purchase Agreement (days)
We execute the purchase agreement that puts us in control of the patents for the program. From this point forward, we fund and operate everything.
3) Build the Cases (first thirty to sixty days)
Perform element-by-element claim charts on priority targets with reverse-engineering and technical analysis as needed.
4) Engage Targets (rolling)
We open with evidence-backed licensing outreach to decision-makers. If negotiation stalls or facts warrant, we file targeted actions on a disciplined schedule.
5) Prosecute & Negotiate (as needed)
We direct counsel and experts, handle discovery and motion practice, and keep negotiations moving in parallel. You receive regular, concise reports with milestones and next actions.
6) Resolve & Distribute
We finalize licenses/settlements or litigate to judgment where necessary. Proceeds are collected and distributed under the revenue-share in the agreement, with transparent accounting.
8) Manage, Audit, Enforce
We administer running royalties, perform audits where agreed, and enforce compliance. If a target’s practices change, we adjust the program accordingly.
If the case isn’t viable
If our investigation shows no actionable infringement, we stand down promptly. We don’t warehouse patents—if we can’t use them to generate revenue, we return them.
FAQs
Do I need to invest time or capital?
No. We finance the campaign internally and we do all of the work. You don’t write checks for lawyers, experts, filings, or analytics and we don’t expect you to contribute anything except your patent(s).
Will I lose control of my patent(s)?
Yes. We invest a tremendous amount of time and money to investigate infringement, including through reverse-engineering and chip-level analysis, and we can’t dedicate the necessary resources until we are in control of the patent(s) and have the option to proceed.
That being said, if it turns out that we cannot pursue any infringement claims for your patent(s), we will gladly transfer it/them back to you - as we have done on a number of occasions. We don’t collect patents, so unless we can use them to generate revenue, we will give them back.
How long does the evaluation process take?
Generally, it takes between thirty and sixty days after signing the purchase agreement with you to perform our evaluation and determine whether we can proceed with your patent(s).
Is this confidential?
Yes. We treat submissions as confidential and will provide an NDA on request. We won’t contact potential targets or disclose your materials outside our team (and engaged counsel/experts) without your consent.
Who is really in charge?
I am. Unlike many companies in this space, there are no complicated corporate structures or hidden, back-end partners here. Once the deal is executed, I make the strategic and settlement decisions, direct counsel and experts, and run the program end-to-end. You get clear visibility and updates, but the buck stops with me so the campaign moves fast and stays disciplined.
Are there any risks? What about an award of attorneys’ fees?
The only risk to you is that the patent(s) is/are invalidated. Because we control the campaign and own the entity asserting the patents, we are responsible for all of the monetization costs and any costs or attorneys fees that might be awarded against that entity by a court.
Outcomes are not guaranteed and previous outcomes are not a promise of future performance, but we have been very successful in the past and have never had any unsuccessful campaigns.
