Network-1 acquires and licenses intellectual property to maximize its value for the benefit of our investors and inventors. We promote the continued flow of invention by enabling small firms and inventors, who may retain an interest in the intellectual property, to realize a return on their research and development investments. Our current focus is on Power over Ethernet (PoE) - a rapidly growing technology that enables deployment of next generation services such as Voice over IP, wireless access, and security monitoring with lower costs, greater control and enhanced reliability.
