Ipvalue Announces Patent Purchase Fund

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IPValue Management, Inc. today announced the launch of a new fund to acquire patents through cash purchases. With initial partner and licensee funding of over $100 million already at its disposal, IPValue Management, Inc. and its affiliates (IPValue) aim to acquire high-value patent portfolios primarily addressing advanced semiconductor, computing, display, and communications technologies. The fund complements the other capital sources IPValue has to conduct larger strategic transactions.

Since 2001, IPValue has partnered with a select number of the world’s most renowned innovative enterprises to generate returns from patent portfolios using professional and fact-based business negotiations. IPValue has monetized tens of thousands of patents and returned billions of dollars for its innovation partners with this negotiations-forward approach, more than anybody else in the industry.

“Our reputation for fair dealing makes IPValue the industry’s most efficient platform to license critical patents to major operating companies who need those rights. IPValue is the buyer of choice to patent owners who want their patents to be monetized responsibly and want to avoid selling to litigation-focused buyers,” said Keith Wilson, EVP of Partnerships and Acquisitions at IPValue Management, Inc. “At the same time, we serve as a trusted and professional licensor efficiently providing freedom to operate to companies who engage in licensing discussions with IPValue.”

The fund will create a new channel for technology companies to get cash returns from their patented innovations. “The cash fund serves two interdependent purposes. First, it rewards IPValue’s partners and licensees who participate in the fund with cost-effective freedom to operate. Second, it enables patent owners who cannot enter into revenue-sharing transactions to sell to a preferred buyer like IPValue and receive attractive cash returns. With this focused infusion of capital, we can continue to reward and promote innovation while reducing litigation and other market inefficiencies for responsible corporate licensees,” added Mr. Wilson.
