license intellectual property and assert them in court to win
damages from vendor companies. RPX says it puchases key patents
that could be used offensively against vendors. These patents
are purchased into RPX's Defensive Patent Aggregation, which is
then licensed in its entirety to its members for an annual
subscription fee. According to the Wall Street Journal, RPX
charges between $35,000 to $4.9 million, depending on a
company's operating income. RPX also decides which patents to
buy.
