Vitek Patent Licensing

Vitek provides patent licensing services on a highly selective basis. Team members have managed hundreds of license deals.

Patent licensing is an ideal strategy for strong portfolios with broad applicability across an industry or multiple industries. The entire patent license process is managed by Vitek’s expert in-house team and litigation partners, from the identification of potential licensees to the finalization of license agreements.

We provide full-service patent licensing on either a contingency basis or on a hybrid retainer plus contingency model, depending on client objectives.

Because many Big Tech companies engage in the practice of “efficient infringement”, successful patent license campaigns often require a credible threat of litigation. While Vitek’s clients always prefer to engage in amicable license discussions, licensees do not always reciprocate. Vitek has partner patent litigation law firms located in Seattle, Atlanta, Austin and Washington DC. Our partner law firms work closely with our in-house licensing team to apply additional litigation force when license negotiations require it.

Vitek can help your company navigate the delicate negotiations of patent licensing while maximizing the return of your patent portfolio.

What Makes Vitek’s Patent Licensing services Different?

As a strategic patent advisory, Vitek understands the risk-reward balance required to create a successful licensing campaign.

While the monetary upside of patent licensing may be higher than an outright patent sale, it comes with considerable risk. The current patent landscape is shaped by AIA (the America Invents Act), the PTAB (Patent Trial and Appeal Board), and scores of litigation rulings from the last decade that have put patent owners at a disadvantage. Having a team that understands the downside risk is paramount in reasonably navigating patent license agreements. Vitek balances the intricacies of strategic license negotiations to reach positive results for our clients.

Vitek offers full-service patent licensing representation with on either contingency based or mixed-fee structures. Vitek identifies licensing candidates, creates a licensing strategy, develops materials, conducts outreach, strategically engages our patent litigation partners, and negotiates licenses on behalf of clients.
