IP Merchant Banking
Europe’s first in patent acquisition and divestment practice

Intellectual property is a valuable asset class. Increasingly, companies seek opportunities available on the market for patents. Whether as a Non Practicing Entity or as an existing company seeking value from its intellectual property rights (IPRs). As the market for IPRs is not transparent, companies need expert assistance in allocating good quality IP and opportunities to acquire or divest these rights. ipeg specializes in acquisition or divestiture of intellectual property assets (mainly patents) through various means.

Our expertise and strong network of resources are designed to complement the IP business objectives and IP strategy of companies seeking to acquire or divest patent portfolios.

IP merchant banking services are offered for companies seeking to improve their patent portfolio by means of the acquisition of granted patents or patent applications. Our clients, mostly in technology, pharma and biotech, face competitive challenges to boost the way value is being created from their IP positions. Other clients have decided to dispose of some of their business assets and require ipeg to assist in the patent divestiture process.

ipeg delivers outstanding expertise to our customers seeking assistance in their IP acquisition or divestiture strategies. Our team has over 25 years of patent experience, both in contentious and non contentious intellectual property matters, gained in private patent attorney practice, R&D dense high tech companies, corporate IP departments as well in academic careers.

ipeg combines state-of-the art engineering skills and technical expertise with legal, and commercial talent and, if needed, financial resources to make the acquisition or divestiture of IP portfolios a successful enterprise.
