DALLAS, Feb. 18, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IPNav, the world's leading full service patent monetization firm, announced today the launch of a website in Simplified Chinese, http://cn.ipnav.com/.
China has transformed itself into an intellectual property powerhouse over the last few years.

And Chinese companies are aware that innovation is not a local phenomenon: Chinese companies are showing up on the list of the top 50 companies receiving patents in the United States.
"I started licensing Intellectual Property in China in 2004 and in that time there has been an exponential increase in the awareness of the obligations and benefits associated with patent rights," said IPNav President Business Development, Steven Davey. "At IPNav we are committed to assisting IP owners in China maximize the value of their rapidly growing IP assets using our world-leading monetization services."
