PAE Patent Monetization Model is Not Efficient

The PAE (Patent Assertion Entities or Patent Troll) patent monetization model does not promote efficient transactions for patent owners. Patent monetization by selling patent assets to PAE’s patent assertion business scheme rewards promoters such as patent brokers, commercial investors, PAEs and contingency lawyers. Patent owners and their shareholders do not gain a reasonable profit. Moreover, the scheme results in an enormous amount of litigation costs and settlement fee payments by operating companies who are attacked by PAEs. These costs and fees often damage the healthy growth of industries and interfere with an operating companies’ business innovation.

1. Patent Monetization

  • SYNDEFENSE supports patent owners own efforts to obtain reasonable royalty fees from companies using patented technologies so that the share of the profit from the use of the intellectual property asset will be properly distributed to those companies that actually invested in the underlying R&D.
  • SYNDEFENSE supports patent owners own efforts to transact patents directly and amicably with licensees/buyers and discourage patent monetization by selling patents to inefficient patent assertion businesses promoted by patent trolls and their business promoters.

 

 

2. Effective Transaction Costs

  • In conducting monetization activities, SYNDEFENSE minimizes transaction costs distributed to non-innovating parties such as PAE’s, commercial investors, patent brokers and contingency lawyers, and maximizes the profit for the patent owners/operating companies so that they can re-invest in next generation R&D.
  • For the operating companies who need access to patents, SYNDEFENSE facilitates rational cost transactions to secure licenses or to acquire patent assets, and reduces substantial transaction costs by avoiding PAE attacks.
  • SYNDEFENSE does not sell IP assets to patent trolls. SYNDEFENSE may be considered an NPE as it does not manufacture or sell products; however, unlike patent trolls or other PAEs, SYNDEFENSE conducts activities solely for the benefit of the patent owners and potential licensees and patent buyers. SYNDEFENSE does not conduct activities to maximize the benefit of investors, lawyers and brokers.
