Founded in 1987, General Patent Corporation celebrates its 25th Anniversary in 2012. For a quarter of a century, General Patent has provided patent licensing and enforcement services, and patent brokerage, for inventors, researchers, engineers and other innovators. We’ve represented scores of patent holders, and generated hundreds of licenses and settlements over the past 25 years.

We refined and perfected a contingency patent enforcement business model that many have tried to duplicate. Our unique Suite of Services includes value-added benefits that no other organization offers! We are proud to be the leading patent licensing and enforcement firm in the world. We believe that we have been a key element in fulfilling the goal of our Founding Fathers – as they included it in the original U.S. Constitution – that the United States have a patent, trademark and copyright system that “…promote(s) the Progress of Science and useful Arts…”

We will be celebrating our 25th Anniversary at a series of events throughout the year. Please check back at our website for news of these events. If you are not currently receiving our monthly e-letter, Wealth of Ideas, sign up for a free subscription as it will include news each month about our 25th Anniversary events.
