what we do

We source and acquire high technology implementation patents at all levels of integration with a primary focus and expertise on end-to-end video

We strive to be the industry's patent buyer of choice by:

  • Understanding your objectives and creating an aligned structure
  • Offering flexible purchase options: cash, profit share or a hybrid of both
We persuade companies through compelling technical and legal evidence to take a license to intellectual property rights that are infringed by technologies utilized in their offered products and services

Why we are different from the rest

We believe innovators and patent owners should be compensated fairly and promptly when their innovations drive industry profits or are widely adopted

We believe that the technology industry at large benefits significantly from the acquisition of valuable technology rights and increased transaction efficiency driven by our licensing platform

Reputation and track record matters. We hold ourselves to the industry's highest professional standards and abide by our patent licensing principles

Customer Testimonials

“VideoLabs was the most impressive company we met with because not only did they bring years of patent licensing expertise that we did not have, but they also gave us a clear pathway for how to protect our IP and fully unlock the value of our patents in the marketplace,” said Paolo Siccardo, President and CEO of Digital Keystone. “It is difficult to license patents or to even get in the door to find the right people connected to IP licensing, but VideoLabs already had these relationships in place. This means we didn’t have to jump through hoops, since they were able to get our patents right in front of the decision makers.”

“We are very enthusiastic about VideoLabs' strategy to provide a platform for sharing IP developed by innovative and creative minds, used by organizations large and small in an equitable manner. We believe there is no better place for our patents to receive the credit and recognition they deserve, while contributing to the media and broadcast community. Creating protection for IP is challenging and expensive, and defending it is even more demanding. VideoLabs' innovative strategy offers a new path to overcoming these challenges,” commented Dr. Hans-Juergen Maas, Head of Intellectual Property at PRJ Holding LLC, Piksel’s parent organization.
