Using Patents to Finance Your Company

When patents have realized value, they can be collateralized to fund your company.

IP-Backed Lending

• Tap the value of your patents as collateral.
• Non-dilutive funding.
• Venture-capital sized investments.

Litigation/enforcement funding

• We usually provide a cash advance against future litigation.
• We pay the legal fees (and take the risk) of litigation.

How do IP-backed loans compare to bank loans or venture capital?

IP-backed loans are the little-known secret of funding your growing company.

How we compare to bank loans:

• Our underwriting looks at the potential value of the company, not just historical financials.
• We can consider far more collateral (and much more valuable collateral – the patents).
• We can do loans much larger than a bank – comparable in size to venture rounds.

When you compare us to venture capital:

• Our capital is half the cost of venture equity.
• We do not demand growth at all costs.
• We are not pushing you to an exit before you are ready.
• Your stock is not diluted – and you keep all the control.

How do you do Patent Valuation?

The most asked question is how do we do valuation? It starts with revenue (either your revenue or an infringer’s revenue), the looks at enforceability.

Patents might have “potential value” but not “realized value.” Almost all patents have “potential value,” but that is not enough for collateral.

In this video, we look at how BlueIron does patent valuation. We cover realized value, but also how we map the patents back to the product and try to capture the reason why someone bought your product.

When the stars align, there is plenty of collateral to fund your company.
