About us

Patent monetization

The focus of activities at PAPST LICENSING lies in the area of infringement prosecution with the aim of granting licenses. Should you be aware of, or suspect, a patent infringement without having the ability or will to assert your rights against the infringing parties yourself, you should contact us. A technology is especially suitable for monetization by PAPST LICENSING if the following criteria are fulfilled: patents granted internationally, large market volume concerned, infringed and valid patents.

Business model

Our business model is based on the following procedure: You assign your intellectual property rights to us and we monetize the intellectual property rights as patent holders. This model is so successful because PAPST LICENSING can enforce infringed patents in its own name. The enforcement of the patents is financed by us. We operate independently and bear the risk ourselves.

This model has the following advantages for you:

  • No immediate cost from the monetization process
  • Minimal commitment of internal resources
  • Competence network of lawyers and patent attorneys, consultants and analysts
  • Avoidance of direct conflicts with customers, suppliers and competitors
  • Increased chances of success thanks to a competent and experienced partner

Competencies

We survey and analyze technologies, markets and products. We monetize national and international patents by granting licenses. We manage and supervise the patent portfolios to be monetized.
