Importantly, the Techquity team brings well over 150 years of leadership experience in these areas.
Prior to Techquity, the team designed and implemented a market leading and nationally recognized approach for IP monetization. As founder & CEO of AT&T Knowledge Ventures, Ms. Divine delivered industry leading realized earnings in less than four years, with additional substantial gains in subsequent years associated with executed transactions.
The Techquity team shares common personal and professional beliefs and vision and each possesses a passion for intellectual property and the important role it plays in our economy. We believe strongly in the value and importance of innovation, recognizing that innovation and invention are key inputs to many of today’s most important products and services. A dynamic and active market for IP licensing ensures that implementors can acquire access to current and next generation innovation and innovators continue to be incented to develop future technologies. Licensing can and should be the result of good faith negotiations by patent owners and licensees, but requires a commitment from both sides to thoughtful and engaged communication.
