We monetize patents
Our company
PAPST LICENSING is a patent monetization company that is operating worldwide. Since 1993, PAPST LICENSING has monetized several hundred patents in the field of electrical engineering and precision mechanical engineering. PAPST LICENSING has since then executed more than 170 license agreements with well-known corporations in Europe, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and the United States. In the event of a patent infringement we contact the infringing party directly and start negotiations with them.
PAPST LICENSING has the know-how to track down patent infringements, analyze markets and products, conduct license negotiations and monitor the compliance with license agreements. Our goal is not to prohibit the use of the patent but rather to conclude a license agreement. If negotiations fail, PAPST LICENSING is in the position to fund and effectively complete court proceedings.
