  • Consolidated IP expertise enhances patent strategies and commercial outcomes
  • House of IP takes majority stake in Patentwerk

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS – House of IP (HoIP) today announced its launch as a fully integrated global center of excellence for specialized IP capabilities.  The new group is pursuing a targeted acquisition strategy, focusing on investments in specialized competencies within patent attorney, trademark, IP services, and legal firms. As part of this strategy, House of IP also announced the acquisition of a majority stake in Patentwerk B.V., a leading European patent prosecution firm, based out of the Netherlands, which joins the group as its founding firm.

The new House of IP group will consolidate expertise from patent attorneys and technical specialists to maximize the strategic and financial potential of intellectual property through protection, licensing, valuation and enforcement.

i4E B.V. (i4E.com), a global technology licensing platform, is the strategic investor behind House of IP providing over fifteen years of IP monetization expertise developed through its flagship company, i4F (i4F.com), a global leader in licensing home improvement technologies and patents.

Patentwerk specializes in patent portfolio development, filing and prosecution. The firm has close to thirty years of experience and has supported the development and expansion of global patent portfolios using a proven model that drives both adoption and commercial value.  This is achieved through a combination of high-quality prosecution with active licensing and enforcement support. By consolidating Patentwerk’s prosecution expertise with the wider group’s licensing infrastructure and capital, the partnership delivers a full-cycle IP model – from filing to commercialization.

House of IP will further strengthen Patentwerk’s long-term position by expanding its capabilities and international reach, while preserving its professional independency and direct client relationships. House of IP will continue to expand its network by acquiring leading IP services firms that share this vision, building a global platform for IP leadership and commercialization.
