Patent Brokerage
Mine your patent portfolio
for cash and competitive advantage
Intellectual Property (IP) is one of your most valuable business assets. Like physical assets, IP must be developed, maintained, accounted for, and properly managed to extract its full value. However, the value of IP is relative. Just as organizations seek to divest business units that are no longer strategic and/or acquire new ones that are, companies need to look at their patent portfolios within a strategic context and decide to invest or divest accordingly.

IPinsights Patent Brokerage is targeted to sellers of patents and offers different ways to engage SI, depending on the level of SI’s involvement in the transaction. SI is able to assist buyers with a routine search.
Addressing an inefficient patent market place
A variety of industry forces have combined to put patent brokerage in the spotlight — some motivating sellers, others motivating buyers.
The combined result of all these forces is a lot of prospective buyers and sellers representing an estimated 150,000 electronics patents each year — all in a very inefficient market place.
Semiconductor Insights is uniquely positioned to address these challenges with in-depth technical knowledge of patents and technology and our international network of corporate and legal contacts.
