Lumenci today announced that Derek Aberle has joined its Advisory Board.

Aberle spent nearly two decades at Qualcomm serving as President from 2014 through 2018. He led the company’s technology and intellectual property licensing business, growing it into one of the largest licensing operations globally. He is currently Co-founder and Executive Vice Chairman of Virewirx, Inc., a board director at InterDigital, and a Venture Partner with Stormbreaker Ventures.

His addition comes as Lumenci launched iLumOS earlier this year and is expanding its network of partner firms and advisors. The platform compresses patent portfolio analysis from months to minutes, combining AI-driven portfolio triage and claim charting with Lumenci’s expert capabilities across prior art, evidence-of-use analysis, validity, damages, and other diligence required to move promising patent assets toward monetization.

“Derek brings a rare combination of technology leadership, licensing experience, and a deep understanding of how intellectual property creates enterprise value,” said Harish Daiya, Co-founder & CEO of Lumenci. “As we build iLumOS into the operating system for patent intelligence, we want to surround the platform with people who have helped shape the IP industry at the highest level. Derek’s perspective will be invaluable as we expand iLumOS and pursue our broader vision of helping make patent assets more transparent, actionable, and investable."

“Patent owners have historically had to make important portfolio and monetization decisions with fragmented data, lengthy analysis cycles, and significant upfront effort,” said Aberle. “What attracted me to Lumenci and its iLumOS is the opportunity to combine AI with the practical expertise required to make that intelligence useful. Lumenci has spent years working directly on complex patent and licensing matters, and iLumOS brings that experience into a platform that can help organizations identify value faster, focus resources on the right assets, and make better-informed IP decisions. I’m excited to work with Harish and the team as they build this next generation of patent intelligence infrastructure.”
