History

The team behind the founding of brainchain had known each other as business partners and friends for many years when the idea of brainchain was conceived. Our experience as managers and entrepreneurs in industry at that time has enabled us to see the scale of potential that has been lost in many companies when it comes to using patents and business development involving patentable innovation. Our market research has shown that many providers of “patent exploitation” and “technology transfer” have disappeared from the market and, in particular, those providers who focus on patent infringement are financially successful. That was not what we wanted, and we were convinced that it could be done differently. We have implemented this successfully through the creative (and over the years increasingly methodical) combination of technical competence and business model thinking, as well as through intellectual property rights strategies. We have been guided by two principles from the start: 1) We are entrepreneurs who share the risk and reward of the results 2) We are a role model for how competence and innovation can be replicated as SMEs and transferred into many industries and applications. The motto is “Walk your talk”. So the concept of brainchain as it currently exists has evolved, and since 24 January 2011 has been confirmed and expanded over the course of numerous customer projects. We are co-inventors, or have even been registered as inventors by our customers, of more than 100 patents of our customers. We have brokered and supported technology and market access in the form of M&A transactions, sold licences in Asia, Europe and the US, and rejected numerous projects because we have learned to assess the conditions for successful technology and patent exploitation.
