Continuing from the last post, they mentioned that besides getting back the principal plus 30% profit within 12 months, they also lock a portion of the remaining profit for trial on top of the 30% profit that they distribute back to investors.I then asked, isn’t it true that most cases don’t go to trial? Wouldn’t distributing 100% of the profits be better?They explained that it’s a probability game. A 20-30% annual return isn’t much; in this industry, people aim for multiple returns, meaning they want several times their investment back. The core reason they group multiple defendants into a single case is this: small settlements from multiple defendants... Continue reading

Continuing from the last post, today we will discuss the general timeline for each case from start to finish and what happens at each stage. Understanding this will clarify how they can achieve a principal plus 20-30% ROI within 12-18 months.The first critical step for a case that passes initial screening, and a very important one, is claim construction. Once this process is completed, the lawyers will have a good understanding of whether the case should go to trial and the approximate range of damages.

They explained that the core members of their fund are patent... Continue reading

Continuing from the last post, this time we are focusing on three questions: What is patent litigation financing? Why does this market exist? Why hasn’t it been monopolized by institutions?They explained that patent infringement, especially by large companies, is very common. However, patent owners usually find it extremely expensive to go through the legal process to fight these cases. The costs start at around $500,000 and typically range from $3-5 million, with some cases reaching $10 million in legal fees. As a result, most patent owners can’t afford to litigate and protect their rights. Traditionally, here’s how it works: financially strong patent owners or... Continue reading
