RPX reduces patent risk in the most direct way possible: we remove patents – pre-litigation and out of active litigation – before they can become a costly problem for our clients. We have spent $2.4 billion to date to defensively acquire more than 26,000 patent assets and rights from the market. And it’s working.
RPX has changed the way companies fight patent assertions. Instead of wasting billions of dollars on fruitless legal confrontations, we apply capital to acquire patents rights and prevent those litigations from happening.
The result: far fewer patents available for assertion campaigns; far fewer litigations; and far less cost and risk for members of the RPX network. (For more on the RPX solution click here.)
The RPX network has proven that competitors can successfully collaborate to fight an expensive industry-wide problem. And as our membership grows, so does the scale and efficiency of our defensive acquisition efforts. The more than 320 clients of RPX have saved $3.7 billion in avoided costs.
RPX is transforming the patent market. With a critical mass of participants and capital, our network is ensuring that patent owners receive fair value for their inventions and that companies pay only a reasonable price to use them.
Predatory patent licensing is not a legal problem. It is a market problem. For any company making or using technology today, RPX’s market-based solution is the most effective and affordable way to mitigate patent risk.
