IPDefine uses patent data, AI analysis and transaction expertise to identify, acquire and commercialise underused intellectual property.
Product
IPDefine works with corporate intellectual-property and management teams to turn underused patents into commercial assets. The company combines proprietary data, AI analysis and expertise in intellectual-property transactions to assess where a patent may have technical and economic value.
Its business includes acquiring patents directly and taking responsibility for their subsequent management and commercialisation. This gives companies a way to transfer dormant intellectual property to an organisation that can devote capital and specialist resources to putting it to use.
