Title: SEP Patent Licensing Partner Wanted — Revenue Share Only, No Upfront Fees

(Please be noted: this is "Revenue Share Only, No Upfront Fees" job)

Description:

I am looking for a long term working partner to non-exclusively license my SEP for Automotive electronic control unit (ECU) software compliant with ISO 26262 and / or AUTOSAR (Classic or Adaptive platform).

I am the inventor and owner of U.S. Patent No. 12,197,893 B2, titled Data Driven Computing System Development, issued in Jan 2025. The patent defines a systematic software and safety development method based on data value and data timing — core attributes in real-time systems.

This patent has been declared a Standard Essential Patent (SEP) under FRAND terms to the following safety and real-time system standards:

IEC 61508 — Registered in IEC Patent Database (posted in IEC website)

ISO 26262 — Declaration submitted to ISO ((posted in ISO database)

AUTOSAR — Declaration submitted to AUTOSAR Patent Disclosure

I have completed:

- Comprehensive infringement evidences:

• claim-to-standard charts – finalized against both ISO 26262 and AUTOSAR (Classic & Adaptive Platforms) with every element maps to one or more mandatory requirements in the relevant standards
• Standard Compliance - Downloaded and archived the relevant companies' statements regarding their products compliant to the standards

- Industry outreach: patent-notice and follow-up letters sent to and interacted with 18 automotive companies, all referencing the detailed charts above and standard FRAND-style notice.

What I Will Provide:

Full technical work: infringement identification, outreach, analysis, and mapping to standards

Drafts of PTAB & Court Patent Owner Responses (e.g., §101, §102 and §103)

Drafts of Non-Exclusive Licensing Agreements

Ongoing technical documentation, support, and claim interpretation

What You Will Provide:

Legal enforcement work (especially early-stage)

Representation and guidance during PTAB proceedings (e.g., IPR) & enforcement litigations

Compensation:

No upfront payment available

I am offering a pure revenue-sharing model

The first 1–2 licensing/enforcement efforts will require the most legal effort (e.g., preparing or defending PTAB filings or strong license terms). For these, I am willing to share significantly more.

For the remaining cases, which should follow the early precedent and involve less legal effort, I will still share revenue proportionally and fairly.

Licensing Strategy:

I intend to license the SEP at low rates to reduce legal friction and encourage fast acceptance

This should minimize litigation and maximize licensing adoption

The partner’s workload will likely drop significantly after early licenses are secured.

Ideal Candidate:

An IP attorney with PTAB and licensing enforcement / patent litigation experience

Preferred: Familiar with SEP, FRAND, and automotive software IP

Interested in long-term residual income

Open to flexible equity-style arrangements in exchange for legal enforcement contribution

Jurisdiction: U.S.

Location: Remote / Flexible, Michigan State is preferred

Engagement: Long-term, on-demand after initial groundwork

Let’s work together to build a sustainable and low-conflict licensing model around this highly applicable SEP patent.
