With PATENTPOOL Trust the PATENTPOOL Group has successfully furnished promising projects on their way between innovation and market with capital and have assumed their management. For the purpose of entrepreneurial logic it is therefore only consistent that PATENTPOOL uses its vast experience and networks through “PATENTPOOL Intellectual Property Protect (PIPP)” for the accumulation of capital for the financing of projects whose profit potential has to be asserted in court or by means of conciliation.


PATENTPOOL Intellectual Property Protect

PATENTPOOL Intellectual Property Protect (PIPP) funds the assertion of promising claims in the field of intellectual property (IP) along the following lines „You’re right and we have both the money and the network to assert your right.“
In principle this idea is not new. For approximately 20 years litigation financing institutions have been earning a lot of money. And particularly the demand for financial backing in IP and proprietary right cases is highly topical. The reasons are:

  • The number of disputes is becoming higher and higher.
  • The innovation cycles become shorter and shorter.
  • Intellectual Property (IP) as an economic good becomes more and more important.
  • The international protection mechanisms for IP violations become better and better
  • The violations increase with the number of proprietary rights.


In Germany alone, every year legitimate billion high claims are not asserted simply because only few can afford to carry the risk of high legal costs. Many claimholders capitulate despite promising perspectives. They abandon facing threatening gestures of financially potent opponents; fear the ruinous battle in court and for their liquidity that is tied to an uncertain outcome of a lawsuit. Because a relatively minor action with an amount in dispute of 500,000 Euros for example, already carries with it the risk of costs amounting to approx. 80,000 Euros. Not only in Germany are claimholders afraid of this risk. PIPP's orientation is not national but global.
Therefore, PIPP as the partner for promising proprietary right claims is treading the path the claim holder is unable to tread himself. The conditions are ideal:

  • PATENTPOOL acquires promising proprietary right disputes.
  • Only after careful, competent risk calculation and assessment will contracts for legal cost financing be concluded with the claim holder or will claims be acquired
  • Before actions are sought can PIPP, as a renowned player in the patent scene, hold qualified eye-level settlement negotiations with the violator.

In doing so PATENTPOOL relies on:

  • its many years of experience in the field of industrial property right protection,
  • trust-based contacts with high potentials of booming technology markets,
  • and its widely ramified network of scientists, experts as well as specialist lawyers and patent attorneys who lend their support and expert advice whenever and wherever necessary.


After deduction of the accrued costs the proceeds will be shared with the claim holder approx. 50/50.
