    Today, I am excited to share that I am joining SIM IP as Managing Director and Global IP Strategy Officer. Most recently at Goldman Sachs, as a Managing Director, Global Engineering IP Strategy, my career has centered on protecting intellectual property by honoring inventors and creators and advocating for the value of innovation. Joining SIM IP to apply global IP strategy to ongoing prosecution – continuing to build the highest quality claims in our portfolios -advances IP protection to its next phase of profit. For portfolios which SIM IP selects from a myriad of global requests, SIM IP drives timely monetization of the highest-quality innovations. I am thrilled to join a team that is deeply committed to elevating innovation by helping inventors and creators realize exceptional value from the highest-quality intellectual property. I am particularly honored by the chance to work again with Erich Spangenberg, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, along with the outstanding SIM IP team, including David Kutcher, Co-Founder and Chief Financial Officer. With important developments across global patent systems, including US leadership under Howard W. Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce, and John A. Squires, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and the uplifting impact of the Unified Patent Court, this is a powerful moment to help shape disciplined, principled, and commercially effective approaches to IP monetization. With AI-powered analytics in SIM IP’s recent purchase of Garden Intel, and applying Erich’s industry success and trusted relationships, SIM IP is realizing patents as an asset class. I want to express my appreciation to the SIM IP team for their warm welcome and look forward to tremendous success honoring inventors and creators as a leader at SIM IP. #SIMIP #ErichSpangenberg #PatentsAsAnAssetClass #IntellectualProperty #GlobalIPStrategy #PatentMonetization #UnifiedPatentCourt

    How do you analyze large patent portfolios and understand which assets actually matter? In this video, Adi Sidapara and Justin Mack explain how AI is changing patent analysis — moving beyond traditional keyword search and enabling deeper analysis of patent portfolios. Following the merger of SIM IP and Garden, we are using patent data together with product and company data to assess IP assets and identify high-value IP opportunities. Watch the video to learn more!

    Today marks the anniversary of Gurulogic Microsystems Oy and SIM IP’s first touch. Namely, it was exactly one year ago when I decided to contact the famous Erich Spangenberg, who had just been reported to be back in the IP Monetization business. During the preceding years, I had spent a fair amount of efforts in attempts to sell the company’s legacy portfolio related to codec technology developed during the past 10 years, before the company’s pivot to cybersecurity. It is hard work - first of all to investigate who would need your patented technology that has become obsolete to you and gain value from it, secondly to find out the correct people to be approached in those companies, thirdly to figure out their correct e-mail address which often is something else than the format name@company.com and finally, to wait for responses, if any. Therefore, it was a nice surprise to get Erich’s response to my e-mail in just 1 hour and 1 minute – even though he was on the Miami time zone! It showed their genuine interest in the offer. After an introductory call and signing an NDA, things progressed quite fast. It was clear that there was a “match” between the patent portfolio of the company and SIM IP’s interest in growing their portfolio. When you find “the one”, you don’t need to think twice. It also helped to have a ready package for sale, indicating the potential relevance of the patents, guiding them in a certain direction. Of course, SIM IP did also their own due diligence and during the recent months following our deal, they have done more profound investigations leading to promising results. I have to say that I am impressed by their work! So, after many years of marketing – and with some success during those years with small parts of the portfolio – our legacy portfolio has found a new home. Sometimes, cooperation is the best approach. 🎉

    Today, I'm thrilled to share that Garden is being acquired by SIM IP for $150m — creating the world's leading IP monetization and licensing platform. SIM IP started off as our customer, and as we spent more time with them among hundreds of other users, we realized that to truly change the market we operate in, we had to vertically integrate to build a one-of-one software enabled business. To say this journey has been surreal would be an understatement. I started Garden from my Stanford dorm room as a senior with a laptop and a thesis: reasoning models and better search could help average people understand patents. Little did I know the impact it would have in unlocking the trillions of dollars of untapped value sitting in patent portfolios around the world. I was a 22-year-old first-time founder who had never raised a dollar, never hired anyone full time, and if we’re being honest, had no idea what I was doing at some points. So many people took a bet on me when they had every reason not to. I will never forget that. To my team — you are the reason we're here. You believed in a weird idea about AI and patents before it was obvious. You worked nights, weekends, and through moments when the outcome was far from certain. We faced rejection over and over before our use case became obvious. This is your win. To our investors — thank you for backing a kid with a 5 page memo and a dream. Your conviction gave us the runway to build something real. We made a lot of pivots before we got to something tangible, so your raw conviction in our team is something I will never take for granted. To our customers — thank you for taking a bet on us and helping usher in the everyday use of reasoning models in patent litigation and prosecution. To our competitors - thank you for forcing us to be better everyday. As part of SIM IP, Garden becomes the technology engine behind a pure-play licensing and royalty company that is scaling nine-figures in revenue. We're not just analyzing patents anymore — we're building the infrastructure that will define how innovation is valued and monetized for decades to come. The mission hasn't changed. We're still obsessed with the same problem: less than 2% of patents ever generate revenue for their inventors. That's a market failure. And now, we have the scale, capital, and team to fix it. I'm eternally grateful for how far we've come — and even more excited for what's next. Press release: https://lnkd.in/eHivNGdw Bloomberg: https://lnkd.in/eq-smdVy
