Lumenci

Lumenci operates as a full-service intellectual property consulting firm, established in 2018 with a mission to assist clients in maximizing the value of their IP assets. Founded by Harish Daiya, who serves as the CEO, and Kalyan Banerjee, the Chief Growth Officer, the company is headquartered in Austin, Texas, with a global presence that includes offices in New York, the San Francisco Bay Area, and New Delhi, India. Both founders have extensive experience in the IP sector; Harish Daiya has over 15 years in technical consulting for IP litigation and licensing and has been involved in over $2 billion of IP value creation. Kalyan Banerjee is recognized as a thought leader in patent and source code analysis and has also been instrumental in IP litigation and licensing outcomes amounting to more than $2 billion.

The firm's business model is centered on providing comprehensive, end-to-end services for patent owners and law firms navigating the complexities of IP monetization and litigation. Lumenci caters to a diverse clientele, including technology companies, law firms, inventors, startups, and patent portfolio holders. Its revenue is generated by offering strategic advice, technical expertise, and valuation services throughout the entire IP lifecycle, from initial ideation to final monetization. The firm's services are designed to be a turnkey solution, particularly for high-stakes patent monetization campaigns and IP litigation. A significant milestone was achieved in December 2024, when Lumenci secured a strategic investment from VSS Capital Partners and Century Equity Partners to fuel its global expansion and broaden its service offerings.

Lumenci's core services encompass patent monetization, IP litigation support, and technology consulting. For monetization, the firm employs patent mining techniques to identify high-value assets, conducts patent valuation to guide strategic decisions, and performs Evidence of Use (EoU) analysis to uncover infringement opportunities. In litigation, Lumenci provides end-to-end support, from handling source code discovery and product testing to offering real-time technical assistance during hearings and depositions. The company has a notable track record, having analyzed over 70,000 patents, tested more than 900 products, and supported over 300 litigation cases, which has resulted in securing over $3 billion for its clients in verdicts, settlements, and cost savings. This is achieved through a combination of deep domain expertise in areas like software, telecommunications, semiconductors, and AI, and the use of advanced automation technologies.
