Patent Brokerage & Strategic Advisory

The Global Leader in Patent Transactions and Intellectual Property Strategic Advisory

PATENTS FOR SALE READ OUR LATEST NEWSLETTER

Tangible IP is the global leader in the sale and acquisition of high-quality patents with over 5000 patents successfully brokered. We are also a leading strategic IP Advisory firm. Our reputation stems from the high quality of our work, the depth of our network and our integrity representing clients. We are routinely retained by Fortune 500 companies, SMEs, investors and inventors to assist them in selling patent assets, acquiring assets or delivering offensive and defensive IP Strategies.

Our goal is simple: obtain the best value for our clients and provide sound and actionable IP advice. Although many of our team members have extensive legal experience, we are neither a law firm nor a patent assertion entity. Therefore, we are able to engage in constructive dialogue with industry leaders who may have an interest in the assets we have under brokerage and provide strategic advice that is tailored to our clients’ size and budget.

“Tangible IP is one of the most respected leaders in the industry for a reason. Not only has it been one of the most consistent and thoughtful voices in the patent marketplace for well over a decade, but it delivers results year after year. Through IP Market Insights and his work at Tangible IP, Louis has helped inventors and patent owners understand what their assets are really worth and he consistently gets good deals done for his clients. Congratulations on 15 years my friend! I wish you the best of luck for many more years to come.”
– Gene Quinn
CEO, IPWatchdog, Inc.

“Louis and Tangible are exceptional. We reject 90%+ of what we’re shown, but when Louis calls, we pick up. Tangible brings us real assets, accurate information and deals that close, which is rare in this business.”
– Erich Spangenberg
CEO, SIM IP

“Louis brings a practical, commercially grounded perspective to the patent market. His willingness to share market data and insights, through IP Market Insights and industry discussions, helps the broader IP community make better-informed decisions. Congratulations to Louis and the Tangible IP team on 15 years.”
– Kent Richardson
Partner, Richardson Oliver Law Group

“For 15 years, Tangible IP has been top of mind whenever I am asked to make a referral to an experienced and reputable patent transactions firm. The firm’s rigorous technical preparation, candid advice and deep market knowledge give buyers, sellers and investors the confidence to act. I also look forward each month to Tangible’s highly informative IP Market Insights. Congratulations to Louis and entire Tangible IP team on their anniversary.”
– Katharine Wolanyk
Managing Director, Global Head of Patents, Burford Capital

“As an investor, I see a lot of patent portfolios, and Louis is among the very few that brings us opportunities well prepared. Tangible IP does the hard technical and market work upfront, which lets us evaluate opportunities quickly and with confidence. Congratulations to Louis and the team on 15 years.”
– West U Capital

“I have been lucky to know Louis for almost the entire 15 years of Tangible IP. We worked on multiple deals together during my time at RPX and collaborated many times afterwards. He is one of the bright lights in the industry always honest with great energy and a true seasoned professional. It is no wonder that Tangible IP sources some of the highest quality portfolios and has one of the best reputations in the IP market. The team at Tangible knows how to close deals and I am sometimes surprised to see one of their non tech portfolios has transacted but then I think of the quality of the team and it all makes sense. It is always a pleasure to work with the team at Tangible IP whenever I can. Congratulations on 15 years.”
– Reza Mashouf
Former Vice President, Head of Pre-Litigation Acquisitions RPX

“Louis Carbonneau is more than a respected resource on patent transactions, value and policy, and a champion of patent quality. He is a guiding light.
Positioned on the frontlines of patent transactions and value, representing clients large and small, his market sense is impeccable. In addition to being a uniquely ethical and knowledgeable patent broker he is a standout writer. Louis’ IP Market Insights is something I and many of thousands of others look forward to each month.
Louis is close to the changing patent landscape and always has something meaningful to say in a way that audiences can readily grasp. I am privileged to know him. Rock on! I’m looking forward to the next 15 years!”

TESTIMONIALS

“Louis Carbonneau of Tangible IP is among the best IP brokers we work with nationally. The service his firm provides and the executive summaries and charts they produce are first-rate.”

– Greg Wright

General Counsel of Quality Night Lights, Inc.

“As a Managing Director of Papst Licensing, I regularly review materials from numerous brokerage entities and other patent sellers. Tangible IP’s excellent reputation is well deserved. Their marketing and technical materials are consistently of the highest quality and most often superior to what we receive from other brokers/patentees. Their team goes above and beyond to provide well-articulated responses to our additional questions and in my experience, there are no other brokers that provide this level of detail and support especially regarding follow up questions. When Tangible IP brokers a patent portfolio, I know it will be of the highest quality and look forward to engaging with their team while performing our due diligence, regardless of whether we end up acquiring it or not.”
