Increasingly, leading businesses with significant intellectual property are using legal finance to monetize assets in their patent portfolios. While for some the right strategy is direct monetization through patent enforcement, an increasingly attractive alternative is indirect monetization, where a business divests patents that may be redundant or no longer core to the business to a buyer that will either hold or further monetize them.
Legal finance has a critical role to play in IP monetization strategies. It can fund direct monetization through enforcement by shifting legal fees and expenses to a third party. When monetizing directly is not a fit for a company, financed divestitures can both remove the burden of patent office maintenance fees and ongoing patent prosecution legal fees and costs as well as generate significant liquidity for business.
