MIAMI and PARIS, June 11, 2026 — Sauvegarder Investment Management ("SIM IP"), a global intellectual capital firm that deploys its own capital to acquire, structure, and monetize IP assets, today announced that Parshad K. Brahmbhatt has joined the firm as Vice President. Brahmbhatt is a Harvard Law–trained patent trial lawyer. He most recently asserted the foundational spatial-biology patents of pioneering Harvard geneticist Dr. George Church, securing a $68 million settlement with ongoing royalties and a summary judgment win eliminating more than $1 billion in alleged treble-damages exposure.

At SIM IP, Brahmbhatt will focus on the firm’s hand tracking, haptics and extended reality (“HXR”) licensing campaign, which originally started with the acquisition of a portfolio of more than 500 patent assets acquired from Ultraleap Holdings — formed by the merger of Leap Motion and Ultrahaptics, pioneers of optical hand tracking, mid-air haptics, and contactless interfaces. The HXR estate reaches well beyond headsets, covering foundational inventions now embedded in spatial computing, automotive interiors, surgical navigation, and gesture-driven consumer devices. His mandate is broader than running the current portfolio: Brahmbhatt will actively source and acquire new IP assets, develop licensing programs for emerging applications of hand tracking and spatial interaction technology, and build global licensing relationships across industries and geographies — deploying SIM IP’s full enforcement, acquisition, and transaction platform at each opportunity.

“Parshad is a trial lawyer who thinks like a dealmaker and has closed disputes other people would still be litigating,” said Erich Spangenberg, Co-Founder and CEO of SIM IP. “HXR is a campaign where the technology is everywhere and the patents have never been licensed at scale. That takes someone who can build the infringement case, defend the validity case, and get a deal done. Parshad is the rare hire who does all three.”

“Most lawyers learn the technology in their cases from a binder. I learned this one with my own hands — I’m a musician, and I’ve made songs on gesture-controlled instruments built directly on the hand-tracking technology in this portfolio,” Brahmbhatt said. “These inventions taught machines to see human hands, and an entire industry was built on top of them. This campaign is about making sure the inventors who solved that problem first are compensated by the companies practicing their work.”
