In global patent cases, the patent's value rises as it advances through the legal stages. Each of these stages, termed 'inflection points,' marks a surge in patent value. At these points, parts of the loan become purchasable by investors, such as Hedge Funds, enabling the repayment of short-term investors with interest. After these junctures, we can offer more short or long-term investments if more funds are needed for the case's continuation.

The following illustration shows the interplay between short-term and long-term capital in the Blackbridge framework during the typical 24 to 36 month litigation lifecycle.

What is a Secondary Sale Intermediary (“SSI”)?

An SSI is a re-selling agent of an initial investor's principal investment to another investor.

For the Blackbridge Framework, our partners will establish Secondary Sale Services Agreements ("SSSA") with leading SSI's, aligned with U.S. and AAA broker-dealers. The framework's distinction lies in its screening process through SSI's before litigation funding.

SSI's have an exclusive auction protocol for Blackbridge units, open only to entities meeting strict standards, ensuring competition among QIBs.

SSI's link to a wide Qualified Institutional Buyers ("QIBs") network, such as hedge funds and private equity groups. These QIBs are interested in uncorrelated assets, aligning with Blackbridge.


Additionally, our partners offer a clear buyout plan, giving providers an immediate exit strategy, and eliminating waiting until litigation concludes.

  • All products are created with our Financial Legal team who ensure they are fully compliant with the Financial regulations of the issuing authority.

  • As in the previous question, ‘WHAT HAPPENS TO MY INVESTMENT IF THE CASE IS LOST?’ clients’ investments are not dependent on the timing or outcome of a legal case.

    Please consult your Litigation Finance investment specialist who will be able to explain further how the investment cycle works and how funds are utilised.
