Our Story

It started with an idea

Tradespace’s CEO spent years leading IP commercialization deals for some of the largest companies in the world. He saw the value that IP portfolios could create, as well as the challenges IP teams face in unlocking it. Specifically, he saw how little IP teams knew about the history of their own portfolios.  Companies kept a record of their patents, but almost no context on the decisions that led to a technology being patented, or how it would support the business.  Even if IP teams did have access to this information, they were so busy with the day-to-day work of tracking down disclosures and filing patents they didn’t have time to think strategically.

Alec and Kapil built Tradespace to empower IP teams to focus on strategy and unlock the value of their portfolios. With their unique perspective on IP value and enterprise AI, they’ve developed a platform that reimagines IP management from the ground up.  Now, Tradespace has built the industry’s top team of IP experts and AI researchers for leading the industry transition to AI-powered IP management.
