Rpx Empower

RPX Empower is RPX Corporation’s patent-risk and litigation-intelligence platform, launched in April 2024 as the software layer over RPX’s longer-running patent-risk business. The strongest evidence points to four connected jobs. First, litigation teams use it to understand judges, plaintiffs, entities, and campaign behavior across district court, PTAB, ITC, Federal Circuit, Supreme Court, and reexamination proceedings without manually stitching sources together. Second, patent litigators use it to see how the same plaintiff or monetization entity is behaving across related matters, assignments, and venues. Third, the February 2026 Patlytics partnership extends RPX Empower into invalidity and infringement workflows by letting users cross-link into Patlytics for AI-powered evidence-of-use and invalidity work while pulling Empower’s litigation, assignment, and entity intelligence back in. Fourth, RPX is positioning License Manager as a system of record for inbound and outbound patent rights, although the clearer practitioner pain remains pre-litigation risk and active defense rather than generic portfolio administration. Market validation is narrower than for mainstream legal analytics products. I found almost no G2/Capterra footprint and very little Empower-specific community discussion. What does exist is stronger in specialist IP channels: RPX’s own launch materials, Mondaq and other litigation references pointing to Empower assessments, niche Reddit discussion of RPX as a patent-troll defense player, and live product pages showing active litigation-defense, webinars, and alert workflows. Pricing and security documentation remain thin in public materials.
