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.”
