Substantive Areas of Interest
We are interested in issued patents, pending patent applications, and innovations in their formative stages. Substantive focus areas are always changing as markets and technologies evolve, but we are primarily focused on electrical and mechanical inventions generally. We are particularly interested in consumer electronics, clean tech, LEDs, software, business methods, semiconductors, nanotechnology, wireless, networking, games and gaming consoles, and some medical devices. We do not deal with chemistry-related patents including pharmaceuticals, bio-tech, and agricultural related intellectual property.
No Legal Advice
Patent Kinetics is not a law firm and consequently we are unable to provide legal advice of any kind. More specifically, Patent Kinetics does not offer opinions regarding patent validity, non-infringement, infringement, freedom to operate, and other opinions that should be provided by a registered patent attorney. We are happy to refer patent owners and other interested parties to legal resources as may be appropriate to circumstances.
Our Expanding Network
We are always expanding our network of patent owners, buyers, patent licensing and assertion firms, law firms, and licensing professionals. Patent Kinetics is a member of the Silicon Valley Chapter of the Licensing Executives Society, the Churchill Club, and the MIT Enterprise Forum and from time to time attends meetings sponsored by PARC, SVForum, the IEEE Boston Entrepreneurs' Network, and the 128 Innovation Capital Group.
