Insights
This patent portfolio acquisition significantly strengthens Network-1's position in several emerging technology sectors. The eight U.S. patents and additional international patent cover critical areas including IoT device interoperability, quantum computing security, and Internet transport layer security—all increasingly essential as connected devices proliferate.
What's particularly valuable is the patent term extending to 2038, giving Network-1 a long runway for monetization. The company's stated intention to continue prosecuting eleven pending U.S. applications and five international applications demonstrates a comprehensive strategy to build a robust intellectual property moat around these technologies.
Network-1 has proven remarkably effective at monetizing IP assets, evidenced by the
The acquisition from IoT Technologies brings not just patents but credibility through connection with John Nix, a recognized inventor previously honored as "Creator of the Year" by the Intellectual Property Law Association of Chicago.
For a company with a
The technological significance of these patents shouldn't be underestimated. Network-1's new portfolio addresses three critical vulnerabilities in our increasingly connected world:
First, IoT device interoperability security represents a major challenge as consumers and businesses deploy multiple smart devices from different manufacturers that must communicate securely. As smart home adoption accelerates, manufacturers will need standardized security protocols—potentially driving licensing opportunities.
Second, the quantum computing security patents are particularly forward-looking. As quantum computers threaten to break traditional encryption methods, organizations implementing quantum-resistant security protocols may require licenses to these technologies.
Third, improvements to Internet transport layer security address fundamental infrastructure underlying virtually all digital communications.
The early filing dates (from 2018) suggest Network-1 has secured foundational claims in these domains before they became widely recognized challenges. This timing advantage often translates to stronger patent positions.
The extended patent protection through 2038 aligns perfectly with the typical timeframe for these technologies to reach mainstream deployment. As security requirements become more stringent through regulation and market demand, Network-1 is positioning itself to become a necessary licensing partner for companies implementing secure systems across these domains.
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / April 2, 2025 / Network-1 Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American:NTIP), a company engaged in the acquisition, development, licensing and monetization of intellectual property, today announced the acquisition of a patent portfolio relating to several key advanced security technologies.
The acquired portfolio includes eight (8) issued United States patents and one (1) international patent relating to, among other things, the enabling technology to support the interoperability of smart home IoT devices, advanced security against quantum computers and improvements in Internet transport layer security.
