SAN JOSE, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
TiVo
Corporation (NASDAQ: TIVO), the global leader in entertainment
technology and audience insights, today announced that Marc Ehrlich has
joined the company as senior vice president of patent strategy. Marc
will manage strategic account intellectual property (IP) strategy and
legal teams across TiVo’s IP and patent licensing business. He will
report directly to Arvin Patel, executive vice president and chief
intellectual property officer out of the company’s San Jose office.
“Marc has extensive experience managing a top-tier global IP team and
developing a portfolio spanning tens of thousands of patents worldwide,
making him a valuable addition to our IP executive team,” said Patel.
“Adding a powerhouse like Marc further illustrates TiVo’s commitment to
building IP offerings that empower our customers to deliver innovative
solutions globally.”
Marc has nearly 30 years of engineering and IP management experience.
Most recently, he served as associate general counsel for IBM, where he
led the patent licensing and business development legal team responsible
for generating IP income. Marc began his career as an IBM engineer in
1988, joining the law department in 1994, where his legal career
included many leadership positions within IBM’s IP law department.
During his tenure with IBM, Marc managed the IP department for the
company’s highly successful semiconductor design and manufacturing
business. He co-developed IBM’s "Innovation Cycle" approach to IP
management, and helped develop and deploy the company’s open source IP
strategy. He was instrumental in developing many of IBM’s current IP
licensing models and has been extensively involved in IP policy
advocacy, including advancing a pilot project enabling third-party
submission of prior art that was incorporated into the 2011 America
Invents Act.
“TiVo is well known for its extensive IP portfolios that provide
foundational entertainment technologies for customers around the world,”
said Ehrlich. “I look forward to building upon the company’s successful
legacy and advancing TiVo’s innovation agenda.”
