TPL provides comprehensive patent management services which support clients in their management of existing patent portfolios, acquisition of new assets, and utilization of patent assets for revenue generation through licensing, litigation or sale. Specifically, TPL analyzes patents to determine if the claimed technology is currently in use or likely to be used in next-generation products. Our staff of analysts can quickly review portfolios to identify valuable assets, or mine issued patents in a particular technological area to locate potentially useful assets. Our acquisition specialists then work with patent holders to determine which owners may be interested in selling their assets, and which of the potential sellers have reasonable pricing expectations. We also work with our clients to develop new patent filings and to insure that their pending patents cover the appropriate technological concepts in the right areas of business, so as to maximize the return on intellectual property investment. When our clients decide to enforce their patent rights, we provide support in licensing negotiations, and should it become necessary to take legal action, TPL’s experts support the litigation team both in testifying and non-testifying roles. For clients wishing to sell patent assets, TPL provides analysis and pricing guidance such as to assure that the asset is appropriately priced and that an outright sale or sale with retained revenue rights occurs in a timely manner.
