IP Tactics manages IP assets held by corporations, inventors, venture capital and private equity firms, and research and academic institutions. Our goal is to provide liquidity options to IP owners, as well as a strong partnership designed to effectively and efficiently monetize IP assets through licensing, sales, and creative business transactions. Even though portfolio assets often are unproven when we acquire them, we take on the bulk of the monetization risk and share the rewards with our clients. We can also act in a defensive capacity for our clients, acquiring or neutralizing dangerous patents before they are acquired by patent trolls.

Our tactics include:

• Marketing and sale of all or part of a portfolio;
• Acquisition of a complete or partial equity interest in a single IP asset or portfolio of assets;
• Structure and negotiation of complex deals;
• Creation and management of strategic cross licensing pools;
• Active or passive role in the management of the licensing and, if necessary, litigation processes;
• Early, middle or late stage licensing and litigation financing options through debt, equity, or a hybrid investment; and/or
• Evaluation/negotiation of sales/licensing offers received from third parties.

In determining whether to act on one of the thousands of IP monetization opportunities in the marketplace today, IP Tactics employs a proprietary process to determine the validity and viability of IP assets and the potential value of those assets, including state-of-the-art knowledge management tools. IP Tactics also considers publicly available information including: (1) the size of the market, (2) the use of products within that market, (3) the critical nature of the design or process related to that market, and (4) the relevant market shares and size of the competitors in a given industry. Most importantly, IP Tactics considers the quality and reputation of the inventor/company owning the IP, and the legitimacy of the assets before moving forward.
