“Acacia has been licensing my patents now for several years, and I am very pleased with the way they do business with me. As an individual inventor I have always been treated in a fair and honest manner by them. In general it is difficult for individual inventors such as myself to protect myself in a world of large companies who have vast resources at their disposal to avoid fair treatment of my patents. My partnership with Acacia gives me the tools I ...

“As an inventor and patent attorney with over 55 years experience, I recognize that Acacia performs a vital function in enforcing the patents of individual inventors and small companies. When I became a patent attorney in 1953, patent litigation costs were much lower. It now may cost $3 to $6 million to pursue a patent case through appeal. That cost makes such litigation almost impossible for the inventor and small businessperson.” “For many years, ...

“Timeline's initial efforts to license its 6 U.S. and 13 foreign patents were fruitful. However, within 6 weeks of voluntarily acquiring a license, the licensee filed suit asking a court to throw out any meaningful restrictions on sublicensing. Over the next 8 years, Timeline endured a variety of legal challenges in 4 different courts. The strategy was to break Timeline's back financially. And it worked. After expending over $3,500,000 in costs and ...

“We were introduced to Acacia by an inventor who had worked with them and been impressed by their professionalism and ethics. I’m happy to say our own experience mirrored his, and that once Acacia became involved, we were finally able to license our background replacement video technology. Given our success, we had no reticence engaging them to represent us in other IP deals. As a small partnership with few resources, we have no doubt that Acacia’s ...

“Our patent is of a scale that the inventors cannot effectively represent it in the market alone. There is concern that larger, more well-financed companies may take advantage of our invention if the patent laws are compromised to provide less protection for the rights of patent holders. The services of Acacia Research Group, in representing the interests of patent holders in emerging technologies and defending the historical rights of inventors is ...

“I was introduced to Acacia by my patent attorney after our numerous, earnest attempts to reach an infringement settlement were blatantly (I might say arrogantly) ignored by 3 large technology companies. From the start, Acacia has been integrity-centered, consistent in their communication and thoroughly professional. Inventors need companies like Acacia to help them realize the value of their inventions. Without them, innovation would be stifled. ...

“The USPTO mission is to ensure that the intellectual property system contributes to a strong global economy, encourages investment in innovation, and fosters entrepreneurial spirit. Some of the most innovative entrepreneurs are individuals. However, without an ally with experience and integrity, individual inventors have no chance of protecting their inventions. Innovation is what made this country great. Protection of this innovation and it’s ...

“Over the years I made several inventions that became the standards in their fields. Some were not patented. No one was interested in licensing others. Happily, Acacia is making efforts to license one of my inventions to an automobile company that has practiced it for several years and not given me compensation.” “I believe Acacia is an asset to America that might help to bring about significant changes.

“When I first started inventing, a family member, who was a very prominent inventor, told me that good inventions are always copied. Consequently, he said I needed two things to protect myself: IP protection and muscle behind it. I took care of the IP and was able to license the invention to a large company. At some point the company decided it could make a lot more money if it canceled the licensing deal and continued to manufacture the product. ...
