Pendrell Corporation's business model revolves around identifying, acquiring, and fostering the development of companies with technology assets that are safeguarded by intellectual property (IP) rights, primarily within the United States. The company's core operations include managing three distinct IP licensing programs. One program encompasses memory and storage technologies, which are integral to various electronic devices. This initiative grants licenses to a diverse group of entities, including suppliers of flash memory components, manufacturers of solid-state drives, and other device producers. A second key program addresses digital media. This effort leverages patents and patent applications to prevent unauthorized copying and usage of digital content during its transfer. Licenses for digital media are issued to manufacturers, distributors, and vendors of consumer products. The third program focuses on digital cinema. It is fortified by Digital Rights Management (DRM) patents and applications, specifically designed to protect against the illicit creation, duplication, and exploitation of digital film content distributed globally to movie theaters. Licensees in this sector include motion picture producers, distributors, and equipment providers involved in the distribution and exhibition of digital content. Established in 1995, the company underwent a name change in July 2011, rebranding from ICO Global Communications (Holdings) Limited to Pendrell Corporation. Its corporate headquarters are located in Kirkland, Washington.
