XIPO, in close cooperation with the Intellectual Property Law Department, manages the
protection and commercialization of Xerox's intellectual property and plays a significant
role in the patent filing process. In 2005, Xerox grew its patent applications by 60% over
the prior year and
was issued 446 U.S. patents. IP strategies and policies are developed and implemented in
alignment with corporate technology, product and market strategies. Invention disclosures
are analyzed, rated and, as appropriate, recommended for patent prosecution, public
disclosure or trade secret retention. XIPO ensures that other companies respect Xerox
intellectual property rights by enforcing Xerox rights through various licensing and
other settlement arrangements, by defending Xerox from the assertions of others, or by
obtaining strategic cross-licenses with key companies.
In addition, XIPO works closely with IPValue
Management, an external firm focused on commercializing intellectual assets, to
leverage Xerox technologies through licensing opportunities. Through XIPO and IPValue,
Xerox licenses its portfolio of about 8,000 active U.S. patents that span digital
imaging, marking systems, materials, and solutions and services technology.
