Actively Buying U.S. Patents Involving IC Device Designs & Manufacturing Methods
Overview
Digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms have traditionally run on specialized processors called digital signal processors (DSPs). Algorithms requiring more performance than DSPs could provide were typically implemented using application-specific integrated circuit (ASICs). Today however there are a number of technologies used for digital signal processing. These include more powerful general purpose microprocessors, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), digital signal controllers (mostly for industrial apps such as motor control), and stream processors, among others.
Patents and Intellectual Property Requested
We are looking for patents allowed by the USPTO. We are not interested in applications unless they are part of a portfolio with issued patents.
Non-U.S. patents are of interest when sold with U.S. counterparts.
Deal Structure, Licensing and Ownership of
Intellectual Property
Patent assignment (acquisition) is our preferred transaction type. We are flexible about providing licenses to the patent sellers.
Due Dates for Proposals and Responses
We have a 7 figure budget to spend in this area right now. This buying activity may continue for several months.
Additional Information
Please let us know your price expectations when you provide patents for us to review. We will let you know our interest level within around 10 days.
