Practice

Where we focus

01

Patent Litigation

Complex infringement and defense actions in U.S. federal courts — claim construction, validity, damages, trial, and appeal.

02

Post-Grant & PTAB

IPRs, PGRs, and reexaminations, coordinated with parallel district-court litigation and portfolio objectives.

03

Licensing & Monetization

Enforcement-backed monetization, licensing program design, and acquisition and divestiture support.

04

Patent Portfolio Diligence

Claim-strength scoring, portfolio prioritization, landscape mapping, and litigation-readiness analysis.

05

Advisory Services

Executive- and expert-ready guidance for boards, investors, and licensing counterparties.

06

Industries & Technologies

Pharmaceuticals and life sciences to software, wireless, semiconductors, and AI-driven systems.

Proprietary Technology

Diligence at machine scale.
Judgment at partner level.

K2K runs its own proprietary AI patent-diligence engine — custom-built in-house and refined on live monetization campaigns. Every U.S. patent in a portfolio is scored against a multi-dimensional rubric spanning legal exposure, technical merit, market adoption, and enforcement posture — calibrated to the current PTAB discretionary-denial regime and checked against live litigation data.

Portfolio triage in days, not quarters

Every asset scored, tiered, and ranked — enforce, license, hold, or divest — with settlement-ready candidates flagged early.

02

Claim-level AI analysis

Claim scope and construction risk, §101 and §112 exposure, prior-art density, and prosecution-history red flags — assessed to district-court and PTAB standards.

03

Live litigation signal

Venue analytics, PTAB outcome data, and funder-grade damages screens, refreshed as the law moves.

04

Deal-ready output

A scored portfolio workbook and a partner-authored memorandum — ready for boards, funders, and counterparties.

The machine ranks. The partners decide. — the same engine that runs our own monetization campaigns.

Two partners. One standard.

Patent Monetization

A patent portfolio is an asset,
not an expense.

We help operating companies, inventors, and funds convert patents into revenue — structuring the vehicle, the capital, and the risk transfer behind every monetization, from pre-suit diligence through resolution. Monetization is a sequence of decisions: what to assert, how to structure it, who funds it, and how the risk is carried. We run every step.

1

Diligence & Valuation

Map the portfolio against external markets — engine-scored, partner-confirmed.

2

Portfolio Sorting

Separate defensive patents from the ones that earn — adoption, term, family depth.

3

Structuring

In-house campaign or dedicated vehicle — we build either, and say which fits.

4

The Vehicle

A holding structure evaluated for rights, control, financing, and retained obligations.

5

Capital

Non-recourse funding from leading patent funders — planned at the start, not month nine.

6

Risk Transfer

Assess available coverage, exclusions, cost, and any financing implications.

7

Enforcement

Milestones that move the deal — filing, Markman, IPR survival, summary judgment.

8

Returns

Model the allocation of fees, financing, and proceeds across different outcomes.

Events
