About Quest Patent Research

Quest Patent Research helps companies protect and enforce their inventions. It manages patent rights and pursues licensing fees from businesses using these inventions. This work supports inventors and patent owners seeking fair compensation.

Patents, Lawsuits, and Licensing: The Quest Toolkit

  • Patent Acquisition: Buys patent rights from inventors and companies; 100% of revenue.
  • Patent Licensing: Sells permission to use patents, mainly through legal settlements; 100% of revenue.
  • Patent Enforcement: Files lawsuits against companies using patents without permission; 100% of revenue.
  • Portfolio Management: Manages 24 patent portfolios, focusing on seven for active monetization.

Growth Spurts and Legal Leaps

  • Acquired patents from AI in 2021 and 2022, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise in 2022.
  • Bought patents from Tower Semiconductor in March 2023 for $3.3 million.
  • Purchased over 2,500 patents from Monterey Research LLC in April 2025 for $9 million.
  • Launched new lawsuits in 2025 against Renesas Electronics, Denso Corporation, and Seagate Technology.
  • Secured up to $25 million in funding for the acquisition of mutually agreed patent rights from third-party financiers, with no amounts drawn as of June 30, 2025.

Why Quest Is a Bit Different

Quest relies on legal action to generate income, not recurring sales. It uses outside funding to cover legal costs, sharing any winnings with funders and lawyers. The company manages a large, diverse set of patents but has only one full-time employee.

Five Things You Need to Know

  • Q2 2025 revenue was $0, down 100% from Q2 2024.
  • Q2 2025 net loss was $1.14 million, up 155% from Q2 2024.
  • Cash at June 30, 2025 was $254,659, with negative working capital of $21.87 million.
  • All revenue comes from patent licensing settlements, not product sales.
  • Going concern risk due to recurring losses and high debt as of June 2025.

Bottom Line

Quest has evolved into a patent monetization specialist, relying on litigation and third-party funding. Its business model is high risk, with unpredictable income and significant financial challenges.
