Erich Spangenberg is the founder and CEO of IPNav (U.S., Europe and Asia). For his aggressive pursuit of patent infringers, he has been labeled "the most feared man in Silicon Valley." But for the patent owner, whether an individual, small business or large corporation, you want Spangenberg and IPNav in your corner.
Many of our clients have turned to IPNav after disappointing and often expensive experiences with law firms and other monetization "experts." While a few firms are often mentioned synonymously with IPNav, none really compare. In the end, it is the results that matter, and IPNav has generated over half a billion dollars in monetization revenues over the last five years. With results like these, IPNav's 100% client retention is no surprise.
Simply stated, IPNav's expertise is monetizing patents. Your patents are assets – and assets should produce revenue for you - every quarter. We focus on turning intangible assets into tangible profits with our unparalleled monetization solutions.
IPNav has no preferred industry or business model. Rather, we choose clients on a case-by-case basis. We have worked with inventors, start ups, small businesses and large corporations. Our clients are from diverse industries including software, automotive, micro-chip, athletic footwear, manufacturing, retail, telecommunications, energy and consumer electronics.
We assess your patents and consider any legal or infringement concerns. IPNav explores your business and develops an understanding of your needs and goals, industry and market position. Once these baselines are established, we develop a best-case, best-use monetization solution. Strategies recommended, exclusively or simultaneously, include licensing, sale, transfer or litigation. Each strategy is designed to make the most of your patents and maximize your financial results.
IPNav's clients have seen an end to infringement by competitors, launched successful licensing programs and generated significant revenue from previously untapped intellectual property.
