Avanci is a pioneer in patent licensing, offering unique solutions and balancing the interests of licensors and licensees. Unlike many traditional patent pool administrators, we are an independent intermediary, simplifying access to essential technologies across industries through our streamlined licensing process.
Key differentiators
Independent: Unlike many other operators of collective licensing arrangements or patent pools, Avanci is an independent company, not owned or controlled by licensors or licensees, which enables us to be an intermediary in patent licensing.
Optional: Our solutions are only ever one option for licensees and licensors, who remain able to pursue bilateral licensing if they choose.
A Compromise: We work to understand the needs of licensees and licensors, developing offerings which we believe can be widely accepted by market participants.
Simplified Process: Our innovative platforms reduce complexity, increase efficiency, and simplify the licensing process for both licensees and licensors.
Our commitment
Avanci shares a commitment with the ecosystem to make access to standardized technologies available on terms that are fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND). This well-established industry principle ensures that those using the technology in their products have access at terms that are well-aligned with their needs, and those creating the technologies receive a fair return on their investment.
By choosing Avanci, you can:
- Benefit from a one-stop licensing process, reducing resources needed to take licenses
- Enjoy transparent and fair licensing terms
- Encourage patent owners to license their patents to a global audience
- Recognize and reward innovators and incentivize them to continue innovating
As an independent provider of licensing solutions, Avanci was created to transform how patent licensing is done. We now offer a range of licensing options for standard essential patents (SEPs) across technologies such as:
- Cellular technology, including 5G, 4G, 3G, and 2G for connected vehicles and automotive aftermarket products
- Cellular patents for Internet of Things products such as smart meters and connected EV chargers
- ATSC 3.0/NextGenTV for terrestrial TV broadcasting
- Video technologies for internet streaming providers
Since its founding in 2016, Avanci has worked independently with both licensees and licensors to develop innovative platforms enabling access to commercially valuable patented technologies and helping to drive transformative change for the future.
