Business Description

RPX Corp. was incorporated in Delaware in July 2008. It helps companies reduce patent-related risk and expense. It provides a subscription-based patent risk management solution that facilitates more efficient exchanges of value between owners and users of patents compared to transactions driven by actual or threatened litigation. The core of its solution is defensive patent aggregation, in which it acquires patents or licenses to patents, which it refers to collectively as 'patent assets,' that are being or may be asserted against its current and prospective clients. The Company's business model aligns its interests with those of its clients. It has not asserted and will not assert its patents, which enables it to develop strong and trusted relationships with its clients. The Company's clients include companies that make or sell technology-based products and services as well as companies that use technology in their businesses. It refers to these companies as 'operating companies.' Its client network consists of companies of all sizes, including some of the world's most prominent companies, such as Cisco Systems, Inc., Google Inc., Nokia Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., SAP AG, Sharp Corporation, Sony Corporation and Verizon Communications Inc.
