If you believe your patents are being infringed, we will analyse your claim, at no cost to you and with no obligation to continue, to determine if it is viable . A viable patent infringement claim is one where:
-
the patent is valid;
- there is a reasonable basis to believe there is an infringement, and it will be possible to prove infringement; and
- there are sufficient potential damages to cover the cost of assessing the portfolio, and licensing and/or litigating the patent.
If we determine that you have a viable patent assertion position, we will offer to create, implement and finance a global patent enforcement campaign on your behalf. Our fees are structure to suit the client and the project, and may comprise an upfront or ongoing service fee, and/or a share of the total compensation – royalties, awards, settlements and other revenue – resulting from the project.
Over the past decade, the Iperative team has developed an efficient and proven staged process for engaging with clients and patent portfolios.
-
Stage 1
The parties share high-level information about the patents and potential infringers under a Non Disclosure Agreement, and together assess the nature of the opportunity and the most suitable strategy and engagement structure.
-
Stage 2
The parties negotiate and enter into an engagement agreement to enable an in-depth investigation of the opportunity. The engagement structure is chosen to suit the needs of the project.
-
Stage 3
Upon successful completion of Stage 2, Iperative accepts the engagement, implements the monetization strategy, and shares the returns with the client.
