Quest Patent Research Corp. (OTCQB: QPRC)

Quest Patent Research Corp. (OTCQB: QPRC)

Quest Patent Research Corp. (OTCQB: QPRC) is a New York City-based intellectual property (IP) asset management firm operating through majority-owned and controlled operating subsidiaries to deliver financial, strategic and legal resources for IP monetization. Quest currently owns, controls or manages over 115 patents across 11 intellectual property portfolios (https://www.qprc.com/portfolio). The company generates revenues from patent licensing fees of its IP property portfolios and from licensed packaging sales.

Quest creates shareholder value through investment and management interests in intellectual property assets, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, novel inventions and trade secrets. Through its business, shareholders have the opportunity to participate across a broad portfolio of dynamic assets in the burgeoning intellectual property space.

Objectives

Invention, protection and commercialization of IP require a deep understanding of dynamic technologies, market fundamentals, competitive landscapes and engagement strategies. Often, IP asset owners/stakeholders lack the requisite resources, experience and/or capacity to access the latent value of their IP assets and opportunities. Quest seeks to bridge this gap, partnering with asset owners – such as inventors, businesses, corporations and law firms – to help them fully realize the value of IP assets through:

  • IP Valuation
  • Structured Licensing Programs
  • Patent Prosecution
  • Partial or Full Liquidity
  • Portfolio Evaluation
  • Portfolio Maintenance
  • Legal Advisory
  • Attorney/Investor Referral
  • Patent Acquisition/Liquidation

At Quest, each partnership is treated as its own entity, with its own focused management comprised of Quest employees and seasoned industry associates. Many of technologies are placed in a wholly owned subsidiary of Quest, benefitting from the broader expertise of the company's leadership.

Management

Quest's management team delivers a wealth of experience in strategic business management, intellectual property, finance and marketing. The company's internal resources, in tandem with its external network of financial, legal and managerial professionals, can develop creative solutions to the myriad of challenges involved in monetizing IP. Quest's structured diligence and deployment procedures mitigate risks, maximize returns and deliver value to IP owners and shareholders alike.
