Oink IP Is Now ICAP Patent Analytics & Advisory, in Collaboration with ICAP Patent Brokerage, LLC

Charlotte, NC, June 29, 2026: Oink IP today announced that it is now operating as ICAP Patent Analytics & Advisory, a new identity that formalizes its collaboration with ICAP Patent Brokerage, LLC, a global leader in patent sales, licensing, and monetization. The combined practice pairs advanced patent portfolio analysis and curation with proven transaction expertise to help patent owners prepare their assets for sale and licensing — and to maximize the return on their portfolio investments.

The collaboration brings together the decades of patent transaction experience and market insight of ICAP Patent Brokerage with the analytical depth, advisory experience, and proprietary technology of the former Oink IP. The result is a collaborative, end-to-end practice that helps patent sellers and licensors move rapidly and confidently from a raw portfolio to a market-ready, well-positioned offering.

“For years, Oink IP has helped clients understand the true strength and opportunity within their patent portfolios,” said Mark O’Donnell, Chief Executive Officer of ICAP Patent Analytics & Advisory and Chief Operating Officer of ICAP Patent Brokerage. “As ICAP Patent Analytics & Advisory, we are pairing that analytical rigor directly with ICAP Patent Brokerage’s transaction expertise, so owners can move from analysis to monetization without losing momentum. Our goal is straightforward: help clients bring the strongest, best-positioned portfolio to market and realize the full value of their investment. And, to assure buyers that they are being presented only the best well-vetted patent assets to consider for acquisition from ICAP Patent Brokerage’s inventory.

A unified path from analysis to monetization

ICAP Patent Analytics & Advisory evaluates a portfolio across the dimensions that determine real-world value — claim strength, assertion potential, and alignment with market demand — and then curates and positions the assets for transaction. Because the practice operates in collaboration with ICAP Patent Brokerage, owners gain a direct, efficient path from advisory analysis to active monetization.

New and expanded services include:

• Portfolio Strength & Defensibility Analysis — assessment of claim validity and resilience against inter partes review (IPR), post-grant review, opposition proceedings, and prior-art challenges, so a portfolio can stand up to scrutiny.
• Assertion & Damages Potential Analysis — evaluation of assertion viability and the potential recovery a well-supported licensing or enforcement campaign could achieve.
• Market-Fit & Demand Alignment — mapping of assets against real-world demand among operating companies, consortia, and non-practicing entities to identify the most likely and most valuable counterparties.
• White-Space & Continuation Strategy — identification of open opportunity space, with recommended continuation claim language aligned to near-term, monetizable market demand.
• Portfolio Curation & Monetization Readiness — organizing, strengthening, and packaging portfolios for sale or licensing, with a direct path to market through ICAP Patent Brokerage.

These services are delivered using proprietary, in-house large language models (LLMs) and analytics workflows, directed by experienced analysts at every step, with all work performed in the United States.

Legacy Oink IP services continue

Under ICAP Patent Analytics & Advisory, the established search and analysis services that clients have relied on from Oink IP remain available to both new and existing customers, including:

• Patentability, Invalidity, Freedom-to-Operate (FTO), Landscape / State-of-the-Art, and Infringement / Evidence-of-Use searches
• Prior-art and FTO risk assessments

Existing Oink IP clients will continue to receive the same services and quality of work, now backed by the expanded capabilities and transaction reach of the ICAP collaboration.
