RPX Corporation

RPX Corporation is a provider of patent risk management services, offering defensive buying, acquisition syndication, patent intelligence and advisory services. Since the company was founded in March, 2008, RPX claims to have introduced efficiency to the patent market by providing a rational alternative to litigation. Based in San Francisco, RPX's approach combines principal capital, deep patent expertise, and client contributions to generate enhanced patent buying power. By acquiring patents that pose potential problems and providing valuable intelligence to its clients, RPX seeks to reduce patent assertions directed at its growing client network. An important component of RPX's market-based solution to the patent litigation problem is its Defensive Patent Aggregation. The RPX defensive patent aggregation service was created to mitigate clients’ risk of litigation from non-practicing entities – also called patent trolls – which acquire patents for the sole purpose of licensing and asserting their patent rights. RPX identifies and purchases patent assets they identify as of high value, relevance and risk that could be used offensively against members of the company's client network. Depending on the situation, RPX may acquire assets from a third party or directly from an NPE. When necessary and possible, RPX will buy patent rights out of an active litigation.
