How to Sell a Patent Without a Broker: Eliminate 15% Fees

Selling a patent has traditionally been an opaque, offline, and highly intermediated process. Independent inventors are usually forced to rely on IP brokers to find buyers, negotiate terms, and execute the sale. In exchange for these services, brokers routinely take 15% to 25% of the total transaction value in commissions, severely eating into the inventor’s profits.

The Flaws of Legacy IP Brokerage

Beyond the exorbitant fees, IP brokers operate in closed networks. They pitch your patent to a limited Rolodex of corporate contacts, which severely restricts the potential buyer pool. Furthermore, the negotiation and due diligence phases can drag on for months, leaving the inventor waiting in limbo for a payout that may never materialize.

Direct Patent Sales via Tokenization

Digital Patent AI eliminates the need for legacy IP brokers entirely. By tokenizing your intellectual property, you instantly list your patent on a global, decentralized registry accessible to corporate buyers, R&D labs, and investors worldwide.

• Sell the Exclusive Token: You can issue a single Exclusive Token representing the complete transfer of your patent. The price is fixed algorithmically, preventing low-ball negotiations.
• Smart Contract Escrow: When a buyer purchases the Exclusive Token, the smart contract acts as an automated, trustless escrow. The funds are instantly transferred to your wallet in stablecoins, while the cryptographic proof of ownership is transferred to the buyer.
• Maximize Your Profits: By replacing human brokers with smart contracts, Digital Patent AI charges a strict flat fee of just 2.5%. You retain 97.5% of your patent’s value.

Global Reach, Instant Settlement

Tokenization doesn’t just reduce fees; it democratizes access. You are no longer restricted to a broker’s limited network. Anyone with an internet connection can discover, evaluate, and purchase your patent instantly, completely streamlining the M&A process for intellectual property.
