IP monetization in insolvency – at no cost to the estate.
TYR takes over the complete monetization of patents, trademarks and other intellectual property: from the free initial analysis through marketing to enforcement. Success-based, with relief from fees and fast liquidity.
of deadlines & renewal fees taken over after transfer
~40%
example revenue share for the estate in enforcement
The problem
IP in the estate loses value every month.
Scope of protection
What is protected?
Which technology, trademark or design the portfolio actually covers is often unclear.
Relevance
Who will buy it?
Realistic buyers and licensing partners often lie beyond the obvious competitors.
Enforcement
Who is already infringing?
Third parties are often already using the technology – an enforceable claim for the estate.
Costs & deadlines
Fees keep running
Renewal fees and official deadlines must be met – missed deadlines destroy value.
Models of cooperation
Two routes to liquidity.
Model 1
Acquisition – one-time payment
TYR acquires the portfolio and provides immediate liquidity for the estate. TYR takes over all future fees and the operational administration.
Model 2
Monetization with revenue sharing
Transfer for monetization; TYR bears all costs, the estate shares in the upside. Example of contested enforcement:
~40%Estate
~30%Litigation funding
~20%Case building & management
~10%Costs

FAQ for administrators
Quick answers.
What does the initial analysis cost the estate?
Nothing. The quick scan and the in-depth analysis are free of charge. If the analysis yields no result, no costs arise – compensation is purely success-based.
What happens to ongoing renewal fees and deadlines?
After a positive initial analysis, a monetization agreement and the transfer of the rights, TYR bears the future costs and monitors all deadlines.
How quickly is an analysis available?
You will usually receive a first structured analysis within two weeks.
Do I need to know whether the company holds any IP rights at all?
No. The company name is enough – we research the complete IP portfolio ourselves.
