Background

About George Matta

I help companies understand the real value of their intellectual property, and how to use it. For over 27 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of technology, patents, and business strategy, supporting organizations in making informed decisions around their IP, whether for protection, licensing, or competitive positioning. My experience spans the full IP lifecycle, from identifying and protecting new innovations to assessing portfolios for strength, relevance, and business value. I’ve supported organizations ranging from global enterprises to startups, adapting IP strategies to different stages of growth and maturity. My focus is practical and outcome-driven: • Identifying where patents have real-world applicability • Uncovering evidence of use through reverse engineering and technical analysis • Assessing portfolios for licensing and enforcement potential • Helping teams prioritize where to invest, defend, or act I’ve worked across a wide range of technologies, from semiconductors and systems to software and emerging energy solutions, which allows me to approach problems from both a technical and strategic lens. What sets my work apart is the ability to connect complex technology, patent strategy, and real-world business value. Not every patent is actionable; I help determine which ones are, and why, reducing the risk of investing in complex technical analyses or reverse engineering efforts that are unlikely to deliver results. I’ve led teams of analysts and collaborated closely with legal, engineering, and executive stakeholders to support decisions that are grounded in evidence, not assumptions. If you’re working through IP strategy, portfolio direction, or looking to better understand where value exists in your patents, I’m always open to a conversation.
