Sell Intellectual Property

Inventions are Valuable

In today’s high-tech world, it’s clear that inventions are both strategic and financial assets. Many companies and inventors have inventions – patents and patent applications – that aren’t generating a strong return on investment. Intellectual Ventures purchases patents and patent applications from individual inventors, companies of all sizes, brokers and sellers, and then compiles them into industry-focused portfolios that are licensed to the world’s most innovative companies.
