Semiconductor innovation increasingly relies on combining technologies from multiple patent holders, but licensing is slow and opaque.
Build a marketplace where chip IP can be listed, discovered, and licensed with standardized terms and automated paperwork.
Take a percentage of each licensing transaction and offer premium negotiation services.
Start by focusing on one category of IP (e.g., processor architectures) before expanding.
Risk: Major players may prefer direct deals, and patents vary widely in enforceability.
