Who controls my patents when they are financed?
You have full control of your patents while BlueIron finances them. However, just like having a landlord for your office space, BlueIron “owns” the patents.
There is a difference between control and “ownership.” BlueIron “owns” the patents, but you control them.
nnnnHaving control of the patents means that you get all the benefits of owning the patents without having to pay for them up front. You get to enforce the patents, cross-license the patents, and can even sell your rights to the patents.
nnnnBlueIron provides at least $500K of patent enforcement insurance for your patents, so that you always have dry powder to use those patents as you see fit.
nnnnEven though BlueIron provides the patents and insurance to use them, you are in complete control of how – and if – you choose to use the patents.
