MIAMI and PARIS, April 6, 2026 — Sauvegarder Investment Management (“SIM IP”), a global intellectual capital firm that actively acquires, structures, and creates liquidity for intellectual capital assets, deploying its own capital, is pleased to announce that Co-founder and CEO Erich Spangenberg has been named to IAM’s 2026 Market Makers, the publication’s annual recognition of the top 40 IP dealmakers and decision-makers globally.

IAM’s editorial team cited SIM IP’s acquisition of nine patent portfolios totaling more than 2,000 assets in 2025, the company’s generation of over $60 million in licensing revenue, and its projection of more than $200 million in 2026 as its monetisation programs mature.

“This recognition belongs to the SIM team,” said Spangenberg. “We all understand that the next generation of IP value creation will be driven by data and technology, not just patents, and share the ultimate ambition to become the market maker for technology rights. The results in 2025 reflect their work, and I’m excited about what we’re set up to do in 2026.”

IAM’s Market Makers recognizes individuals who craft sophisticated strategies in an increasingly complex licensing environment, oversee high-stakes negotiations, and secure impactful deals. Selection is made by IAM’s editorial team based on monetisation activity across the prior year.
