Patentesque Law Group LLP

PatentBridge is a full service privately-held technology development firm located on Sand Hill Road in the heart of Silicon Valley that specialises in bringing to market select technologies covering extraordinary scientific, medical and industrial breakthroughs. PatentBridge turns patent portfolios into capital-producing divestitures or revenue-generating licenses. With over $500 million in patent deals under his belt, Mark S Holmes is the founder and chief executive officer of PatentBridge. Recently PatentBridge sold a single patent for more than $4 million. Patents offer a legal monopoly to make, use and sell products and services claimed by the patent. But unless they are sold, licensed, enforced or used for blocking purposes, patents offer little value to their owner. Collecting dust in a forgotten drawer or proudly displayed in the inventor's office produces no revenue. PatentBridge offers a turn-key brokerage service for patent owners seeking to sell or license their select patents on a success-fee basis. We broker the portfolio. PatentBridge takes all steps necessary to turn the patents into capital-producing divestitures or revenue-generating licenses. PatentBridge's turn-key brokerage is especially attractive to inventors and corporations which do not have the expertise, personnel or inclination to broker their patent portfolios on their own. About PatentBridge PatentBridge was formed in 2003 to represent patent owners in the brokering of their select patents. We work with inventors, corporations, law firms and venture capitalists. The founder and C.E.O. of PatentBridge is Mark Holmes. Mr. Holmes is a registered patent attorney 1 experienced in all aspects of technology brokering and patent licensing. He has negotiated numerous patent deals, both inbound and outbound, as well as represented patent owners in the brokering of their patents. Mr. Holmes has advised some of the largest companies and academic institutions in the world such as Visa, Sony, Applied Materials, Intergraph ( in its settlement of Intergraph v Intel ), University of California at Berkeley ( Berkeley Lab ), Biosite, Fairchild Semiconductor, Rigel Pharma and Yamanouchi Pharma, as well as sole inventors. He has been on both sides of the table -- as buyer and seller -- which has given him a unique understanding of both perspectives and the negotiating tactics employed by each party to the deal. Mr. Holmes also possesses strong business experience from many years of negotiating patent deals. He also has first hand business startup experience from being the co-founder of a successful telecommunications startup which was sold in the late 1990s to a portfolio company of the Alabama state retirement fund ( RSA ). He is an angel investor both individually and as a Band of Angels member and an adviser to technology startups. Mr. Holmes earned his engineering degree from Brown University.
