Advantages of the Patendex Service

The Patendex settlement service works because it aligns multiple interests:

• By joining a group of several defendants, each defendant gains from the strength of numbers in negotiating a settlement
• An NPE understands that its negotiating position is weakened by group activity and that a fast settlement is in its interest
• Patendex receives compensation on a success-fee basis, so our interest is in achieving a low price that the most members can accept.

Patendex members save money in defending against the ever-growing problem of NPE patent lawsuits:

• Patendex's structure avoids delaying needed settlement talks, allowing members to save significant costs through reductions in legal fees, personnel costs, and business distraction
• Patendex-facilitated group settlements achieve lower license payments or royalties than individual settlements
• Patendex members who settle eliminate risk from uncertain lawsuit outcomes.
