EDISON IP Enforcement - Protect Your Brand

Edison pursues IP enforcement through multiple avenues:

1. Patent Litigation: Edison has historically been involved in patent litigation to protect its innovations, sometimes taking legal action against companies that infringe on its patents or attempting to invalidate other companies' patents they believe infringe on theirs.

2. Licensing and Partnerships: Edison, particularly under GE, has a robust licensing program where it licenses its patents to other companies in exchange for royalties. This helps generate revenue while still controlling how their innovations are used.

3. Patent Pooling and Cross-Licensing: In certain industries, Edison has engaged in patent pooling (combining patents with other companies in a shared collection) or cross-licensing (allowing other companies to use their patents in exchange for access to theirs).

4. Defensive Measures: They also protect their intellectual property portfolio through continuous monitoring of competitor activities and patent filings to identify potential infringements early and avoid long-term disputes.
