About NETWORK-1 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Network-1 Technologies, Inc. (NTIP) is a U.S.-listed company traded on NYSE American in the United States, focused on the acquisition, development, protection, licensing, and monetization of intellectual property. For international investors, it is best understood not as a traditional operating technology manufacturer, but as an IP monetization and patent-enforcement platform. The company was incorporated in Delaware, was founded in 1990, and is headquartered in New Canaan, Connecticut.

Its core assets include the Remote Power Patent, which covers Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology; the Cox patent portfolio, which relates to identifying media content on the Internet and triggering actions based on that identification; the Mirror Worlds portfolio, centered on unified search, indexing, displaying, and archiving documents; the M2M/IoT portfolio, which addresses authentication and embedded SIM-related technologies for connected devices; and the HFT portfolio, aimed at latency-sensitive high-frequency trading infrastructure. These portfolios define the company’s economic model and explain why legal outcomes and licensing agreements are so important to its earnings profile. ([network-1.com](https://www.network-1.com/?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, Network-1 operates in a highly specialized niche where value is driven less by manufacturing scale than by patent quality, claim breadth, enforceability, and the ability to secure licensing deals or litigation victories. That makes the business inherently volatile: revenues can be uneven, but successful monetization of a strong patent position can produce outsized returns. Management has stated that operations are financed primarily from patent licensing revenue, reinforcing the asset-light nature of the model and the dependence on monetization events.

Its principal office is in New Canaan, Connecticut, and its monetization efforts are centered on U.S. patents, although some portfolios also include international coverage. Network-1 has also highlighted that it maintains sufficient liquidity for the near term, while continuing a share repurchase program and paying a semi-annual dividend, which may make the stock relevant to investors seeking a combination of event-driven upside and capital return potential.

In 2025, Network-1 announced the acquisition of a new patent portfolio focused on advanced security, smart-home IoT interoperability, and quantum-resistant security themes. It also initiated fresh litigation against Samsung entities and Optiver. In April 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled partly in Network-1’s favor by reversing a non-infringement judgment related to its ’237 patent, while leaving other findings intact and remanding the case for further proceedings. Strategically, that is a meaningful positive for the Cox portfolio, although the final financial impact remains uncertain.
