Intellectual Property

Investing in intellectual property (IP) involves acquiring, managing, and monetizing intangible assets such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.

Valuing IP can be complex due to its intangible nature, and there are legal risks associated with infringement disputes and litigation. Managing and protecting IP requires ongoing investment in legal and administrative processes.

Examples of successful IP investments can be seen in tech companies with extensive patent portfolios, entertainment firms leveraging copyrights and trademarks, and pharmaceutical companies securing market exclusivity through patents.

Successful IP investment strategies include direct investment in IP assets, acquiring licensing rights, investing in IP-focused funds, and funding IP litigation in exchange for a share of proceeds.

I read your emails pretty religiously. Your issue on investing in tax liens is one of my absolute favorites. Great coverage for an otherwise totally grey area that seems to have little mindshare within the broader REI community.

I've recently discovered the Alts newsletter, and am enjoying it. They don't strictly focus on digital assets, which actually helps it keep it more unique in my opinion.
