# About Avanci

## The Avanci Difference.

Avanci is a pioneer in collective patent licensing, offering unique solutions which balance the needs of licensors and licensees.

Unlike many traditional patent pool administrators, Avanci is an independent intermediary, simplifying the licensing of essential technologies across industries through our streamlined approach.

### Independent

Avanci is an independent intermediary in joint patent licensing, not owned or controlled by licensors or licensees.

### Optional

Licensors and licensees can always pursue bilateral licensing if they choose, as Avanci platforms are only ever one option.

### Compromise

Avanci develops widely accepted offerings, finalizing new programs only when acceptance has been found from both licensees and licensors.

### Simplified

Avanci reduces complexity and increases efficiency for both licensees and licensors.

### Commitment

Avanci ensures access to standardized technologies on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms, balancing the needs of technology users and creators.
