Intellectual Property Auctions

<aside> 🦉

Create an Intellectual Property Marketplace

Intellectual property (IP) auctions offer a structured, transparent way to buy and sell valuable intangible assets—patents, trademarks, copyrights, licenses, and digital rights. These auctions attract inventors, investors, legal firms, startups, and technology companies seeking strategic or monetizable IP.

Our auctions are typically online and bid at the item with smartphone on item inspection day, allowing bidders to review documentation and due diligence materials ahead of time and bid securely from any device.

💡 Why IP Auctions Are Strategic and Scalable

1. Monetize Innovation Without Licensing Hassles

Auctions allow IP holders to transfer rights directly and cleanly—especially during bankruptcy, liquidation, or portfolio divestment.

2. High Margins, No Storage Costs

These are digital assets—no warehousing, no shipping, and extremely high revenue potential for each transaction.

3. Transparent Pricing in a Complex Market

Selling Lane makes bidding and transfer processes visible, secure, and fully documented.

4. Deal Working Unlocks Missed Bids

Selling Lane’s deal working feature allows organizers to close an additional 10% of bids that don’t meet reserve during live auction.
