Management

Kevin J. Zilka

Founder & Principal

Mr. Zilka leverages his access to capital, the resources of his own law firm, and his technical/legal skill set gained from decades of experience as an inventor and patent attorney, to successfully monetize patents to the benefit of individual inventors and patent owners, whether they be start-ups or Fortune 500 companies. His key differentiator includes expertise in early-stage IP opportunities that fuses talents of early recognition of winning technology, strategic procurement of enforcement-ready patents, and development/execution of licensing-centric business strategies from the ground up. Applying this expertise, Mr. Zilka created Oso IP to connect inventors with third-party financial investment that is strategically designed to help inventors achieve optimal returns on their own personal investment in their inventions. While Oso IP is not a law firm and neither Oso IP (nor any affiliates) invest in patent assertion, Oso IP operates as a brokerage and/or referral service for inventors to access third-party investment to invest in patents themselves.
