Sell to a Troll
The troll will borrow money to pay for your patents and finance expensive litigation. That money is extremely expensive, so they won’t offer you a fair cash price.
❌ Poor Returns
⚖️
License It Yourself
Get ready for IPR, CBM, PGR, DJ, and years of expensive and distracting litigation and loss of reputation.
❌ High Risk
🏢
Operating Company
With so many patents already in its portfolio, it would need yours just for defensive purposes. If that company values your patents as X, and there are 10 similar companies, you just lost 9X!
❌ Lost Value
🪦
Defensive Entity
That entity uses its annual budget to buy as many patents as possible just to add them to its huge patent graveyard rather than to use them to generate revenue.
❌ Minimal Offer

Full Market Coverage
We cover all three segments of the market
Since we don’t markdown our purchase price to ensure a traditional marginal profit, if you sell your patent to SynPat you will get the most competitive upfront price + 1/3 of all SynPat revenues. SynPat’s revenues come only from selling licenses, and they positively correlate with your upfront price. The higher it is, the higher the COST PRICE, the REGULAR PRICE and the VALIDATED PRICE are. Simply put, we try to buy from you at the highest transactable price.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the value of my patents?
The value of a patent portfolio when you sell it to SynPat equals: Value = A × B ÷ 2, where A = total number of potential licensees, and B = amount one licensee would be willing to pay. For example, if 10 potential licensees would each pay $2M, your sale price is $10M, payable as: $4M upfront, $3.3M within 4 months, and $2.7M within an additional 10 months.
What makes SynPat’s price offer so competitive?
By definition, SynPat is positioned to offer you the best price for your patents. Any other buyer will try to lower the sale price to maximize expected profit and minimize risk. SynPat is the only buyer whose revenues are not based on arbitrage between purchase price and revenues. In fact, SynPat’s revenues correlate with acquisition price – the higher the price, the higher our revenues! We have no incentive to discount your asking price.
Can we continue showing the patents to others until Closing?
Sure, that would help exposure. Any operating company that finds your patents interesting would prefer to join our acquisition syndicate and pay a fraction of the sale price. Whether a company’s strategy is defensive (eliminate infringement risk) or offensive (assertion), participating in SynPat’s syndicates is always preferable to an outright acquisition of the patents.
Does SynPat produce claim charts?
Yes, as many as possible. SynPat invests most of its resources from the time of signing the Patent Purchase Agreement until the Closing on preparing claim charts, prior art reports and other evidence that is necessary to reflect and demonstrate the value of the patent portfolio to potential licensees.
How does SynPat deal with “free riders”?
SynPat doesn’t deal with “free riders” or stubborn infringers. SynPat is a licensing company, not an enforcement entity. We believe that when the carrot is sweet enough, a stick is not needed. We created a licensing program that is open and available for everyone to enjoy, and we offer generous licenses to high quality and impact patents.
