Innovation
HPE's IP portfolio reflects the rich legacy of our predecessor Hewlett-Packard Company, regarded as the founder of Silicon Valley, and at the same time is foundational to modern computing platforms. Our IP portfolio supports wide-ranging products and industry-leading technology, and also comprehensively underlies our diverse technology transfer, licensing, sales, and collaboration relationships and initiatives. HPE is open to collaborations that mutually advance business, technology, branding, and open sourcing objectives.
Our team
Our IP team strives to be an innovation-driven team of worldwide professionals who support our customers to achieve business outcomes. The IP team has received many external accolades including awards from Managing IP, IAM, IP Stars, and World Trademark Review. In addition, the IP team has been recognized as a Legal Tech Trailblazer for consistent development of innovative tools such as a micro-rotation portal which provides team members diverse opportunities across the Legal department, and also a crowdsourced approach to patent decision-making by considering the voice of our R&D community.
Monetization
The IP Licensing team has established technology transfer, licensing, and sales programs involving HPE patents, trademarks and copyrights. The technology transfer program is focused on encouraging the adoption and implementation of HPE innovations more quickly into the applicable marketplaces. The patent licensing program offers licenses to HPE’s technology on mutually beneficial terms. HPE also sells patents to qualified buyers, which is a common business practice for companies with large patent portfolios.
