Name:	Defensive Patent Aggregation
Product URL:	http://www.rpxcorp.com/services.html
Description:	The RPX Defensive Patent Aggregation service is the first of its kind. Previously, NPE defense has been largely a unilateral effort for asserted companies – paying a licensing fee or settlement, mounting a legal defense, and some purchasing of contested patents – with significant risks and high (and highly unpredictable) costs. RPX changes the defensive landscape for operating companies by decreasing the supply of assertable patents available to NPEs. In addition to your own company’s patent purchasing, negotiation and counter assertion efforts, RPX provides a service that identifies and purchases patents that could be used offensively against you. We purchase these key patents into our Defensive Patent Aggregation, which is then licensed in its entirety to our members for an annual subscription fee. Our fees are significantly lower than the acquisition or assertion defense costs a member would otherwise face. It is a powerful new patent defense service, built on a total alignment of interests between RPX and its members.
