IP Advisory
Transaction Advisory & Technology Transfer
The early secondary patent market offered immense value to buyers in the post-dotcom era, but the market was quickly flooded with low value patents as it grew.
Today, the most valuable patents are those that are not marketed for sale and likely never will be.
Forward-thinking companies understand this, and leverage IAG’s full suite of services to tap into an exclusive network of high value patents.
With nearly two decades of experience, we not only have first hand knowledge of the issues that regularly arise in IP transactions, but have addressed them successfully in the past.

Strategic Patent Acquisition
Successful acquisition departments understand the most valuable patents are not on the market. IAG helps clients maximize value from acquisition budgets by sourcing, vetting, and structuring IP transactions in accordance with each client’s unique IP strategy, keeping the client’s identity confidential until pricing and terms are agreed upon.
01
Patent Divestiture & Licensing
We have created over $1B in value for patent owners since 2005. From generating EOU and determining encumbrances through negotiation of pricing, terms, and conditions, IAG has the deal experience, legal skillset, and close relationships with top-tier buyers to understand purchase requirements across the patent market and close transactions quickly.
02
IP Portfolio Valuation Assessment
Absent existing or impending infringement proceedings, valuation in the secondary market is principally determined by claim breadth, years remaining, and existing encumbrances. With data points across all major technology areas and thousands of IP transactions, IAG has the tools required to adequately price IP acquisitions and licenses.
03
Post Deal IP Evaluation and Integration
M&A activity, University research partnerships, and inconsistent assignment record reporting often create challenges in determining the true origin of patent ownership. Leverage IAG’s title clearing and asset due diligence services to gain confidence in the ownership structure and ongoing encumbrances of all IP involved in a transaction.
