Patent Brokerage and Patent Brokers

Patent brokerage includes the selling and voluntary or “carrot” licensing of patents and other forms of Intellectual Property as well as their acquisition. And while IPOfferings does both, most of our clients engage us to sell their patents. Among clients who want to sell their patents, most choose an outright sale over licensing, although IPOfferings can find both buyers and licensees. In addition to voluntary or “carrot” licensing of a patent, there is also assertive or “stick” licensing, and that service is provided by an affliate of IPOfferings.

Like a real estate or mortgage broker, IPOfferings works on a performance basis on the selling side, earning an agreed-to commission on the revenue we generate for the patent owner. For acquisition clients, we charge a campaign fee. Since there are many patent brokers, the challenge is selecting the patent brokerage firm that can produce results for you, and do so in a reasonable period of time.

Specialized Skills: Unlike real estate and mortgage brokering, finding a buyer for Intellectual Property is the ultimate needle-in-a-haystack challenge. A patent only has value to the organization that needs it, while it has NO value to the organization that does not need it. So brokering a patent is a highly specialized skill set that includes researching your patent to determine its possible applications across different technologies and industries, identifying specific prospective buyers, and putting your technology in front of decision makers at the most likely prospects.

IPOfferings has the experience, expertise, skills and knowledge required to find a buyer or licensee for your patent or patent portfolio. At no cost or obligation on your part, we will analyze your patent or IP portfolio to determine if we believe there are buyers out there. Contact us at 561-302-3797 or info@ipofferings.com.
