about IPmart

IPmart is a centralized patent marketplace. We see patents differently. We see much more than a number. We see what an inventor sees, technology. Then, we look around; we look at the technology landscape surrounding a patent. This landscape is continually evolving. It is dynamic. Fitting the patent into this dynamic world brings it to life.
