Sisvel Launches its IP Commercialization Platform at CES 2016

Sisvel, a global licensing company that has been dedicated to patent licensing since its foundation in 1982, has announced today that it is going beyond traditional patent licensing in how it acquires and monetizes patent portfolios and partners with IP players.

Sisvel is now offering its IP commercialization platform to anyone who wishes to gain greater value from Intellectual Property. This platform allows both IP Buyers and Sellers to use Sisvel’s proven network of partners, expertise in licensing and technical analysis – something no other entity now offers.

“IP buyers and sellers are in dire need to be directed by a competent player in the marketplace,” said Karel van Lelyveld, CEO of the Sisvel Group. “Sisvel has been active in this market for more than 30 years and we know what it takes to find the proverbial needle in a haystack. With our new IP Commercialization Platform we now provide easy and immediate access to buyers and sellers who want to transact assets. Our platform provides the simplicity and transparency needed to take back the market for those who develop innovative technologies and those who are seeking to get IP protection for innovative solutions”.

IP Commercialization Platform Features:

  • Match for IP: Sisvel’s IP platform bridges buyer and seller requests and helps both parties achieve efficient solutions.
  • Marketing IP Correctly: Sisvel’s team can help a company structure and optimize its Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio as well as identify the right assets to monetize.
  • Finding the Proverbial Needle in a Haystack: Companies from around the world can now find specific IP assets in technical areas of interest, from selected sellers and pre-qualified portfolio opportunities.

“With Sisvel in the mix, there is no need to run around to ten or twenty different firms trying to buy access to the technologies you may need,” said Chuck Hausman, Vice President of Sisvel US.

Sisvel will formally unveil its new worldwide IP commercialization platform at CES 2016 with an announcement during a private reception on Thursday, January 7 from 4-6 p.m in the LVCC South Hall, Booth #1-20306. Sisvel’s management team will be available at the event to discuss the new platform’s benefits.
