Acacia Research Corporation
Acacia Research Corporation is the stuff expect to see in a George Orwell novel. Acacia Research acquires, develops, licenses, and protects patented technologies for individual inventors and small companies that have limited resources to protect against infringement. Acacia Research Corporation owns or controls the rights to more than 100 patent portfolios and about 50 technology license programs in the US and abroad. It typically buys portfolios and pays its clients an upfront fee or becomes the exclusive licensing agent and doles out royalties. It has out-licensed to such companies as 3M, Dell, IBM, Texas Instruments, and Walt Disney Company. Acacia Research primarily operates through its Acacia Technologies Group subsidiary.
