History & Mission

Based in The Netherlands, Lighthouse IP was founded in 2006, with the same professionals that had previously successfully run Univentio (now part of LexisNexis). Key employees at Lighthouse IP have been in the industry for over 20 years. Our mission is to be the superior IP content provider in the world. Our data must be recognized as the most complete (largest backfile, # of content fields) and extensive (most countries) IP data collection, with the highest accuracy level. Our objective is to set the industry standard. As we source the data directly ourselves, we have several offices abroad, amongst others in Poland, China, Egypt, Indonesia, Thailand, the USA and in Vietnam.
