Background

Patents allow a company to protect its technology, increase the commercial value of its product offerings, and set itself apart from the competition.  If managed properly, patents can also become an independent source of revenue.  SISVEL believes that the use of intellectual property as a means of generating income is one of the foremost challenges facing many businesses. 

The recent growth of the global marketplace and the strength of emerging markets has forced many companies to secure their competitive position and profitability through vigorous protection and monetization of intangible assets.

For this reason, SISVEL continually works with its partners to maximize returns on their intellectual property by offering a comprehensive approach to patent licensing:  from issuing initial calls for essential patents in joint licensing arrangements; facilitating discussions among essential patent holders; developing multiparty license agreements; executing and administering licenses;  to collecting and distributing royalties.  With a clear understanding and insight into the direction that technology and the marketplace are heading, SISVEL can help companies identify, value, and market intellectual property assets to create new income streams derived from a well-managed licensing program.

At the same time, SISVEL actively promotes a culture of respect for and understanding of intellectual property through, for example, its regular presence at the world's top consumer electronics trade fairs, frequent participation in policy discussions and conferences, as well as open dialogues with a number of government bodies and industry associations.
