About Us
Who we are: a small team of lawyers and scientists focused exclusively on partnering with inventors to license patents. We combine deep technical diligence and years of patent litigation experience with trial-ready discipline—and we finance internally, so there are no delays.
What makes us different:
Limited focus: we only work with individual owners and small companies—no brokering, no third-party funders.
Speed: we make go/no-go decisions quickly and begin making progress immediately.
Selective by design: we only work on a handful of patent portfolios per year for principal-level attention.
No warehousing: we don’t collect patents—either we proceed with licensing or we return them.
Our Process
1) Intake (days)
You share the basics: proper chain of title, 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)
We perform element-by-element claim charts for potential licensees with reverse-engineering and technical analysis as needed.
4) Ethical Engagement (rolling)
We contact companies with evidence-backed licensing outreach to decision-makers. If negotiations stall, we offer a low-cost alternative to litigation to resolve factual disagreements.
5) Litigation (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.
7) Manage, Audit, Enforce
We administer running royalties, perform audits where agreed, and enforce compliance.
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 license revenue, we return them.
FAQs
Do I need to invest time or capital?
No. We finance 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).
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 stockpile patents, so unless we can use them to generate revenue, we return them promptly.
How long does the evaluation process take?
Generally, it takes between thirty and sixty days after signing the purchase agreement 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 anyone or disclose your materials outside our team (and engaged counsel/experts) without your consent.
Who is really in charge?
We are. Unlike many companies in this space, there are no complicated corporate structures or hidden, back-end partners here. Once the deal is executed, we make the strategic and settlement decisions, direct counsel and experts, and supervise the program end-to-end. You get clear visibility and updates, but the buck stops with us, so the project moves fast and stays disciplined.
Are there any risks?
Outcomes are not guaranteed (patents can be invalidated in court), and previous outcomes are not a promise of future performance, but we have been very successful in the past and will be happy to share real-world examples.
