A vertically integrated patent-asset management platform built to turn intellectual property into a transparent, analyzable, and investable asset class. We combine data, market intelligence, and full-lifecycle execution to unlock value from patents at scale.
Founded by patent attorneys who left major law firms to build a more efficient and data-driven approach to patent transactions, IP EDGE has grown into one of the most active and recognized patent-transaction platforms in the United States. Since 2010, the firm has been consistently cited in industry publications for its leadership and volume of activity, having facilitated more patent transactions than any other group.
Our work spans valuation, licensing, litigation support, financing, and strategic execution—supported by one of the largest proprietary datasets of claim charts and patent analytics in the world. This foundation enables us to identify opportunities, accelerate decision-making, and help investors and patent owners understand the real economic potential of intellectual property.
We operate as a fully integrated platform built for the modern patent marketplace. Our consulting arm performs diligence and market mapping; our financing arm supports litigation and licensing campaigns; our litigation-support team provides technical and strategic case support; our educational arm—including Pant on Patents™—demystifies the patent asset class for institutional investors; and our commercialization arm converts IP into real-world products. Together, these pillars allow IP EDGE to reduce transaction costs, bring transparency to a historically opaque market, and create new pathways for institutional investment in an emerging asset class.
