Brian Yates

Brian Yates is the Chief Executive Officer of iPEL.  Mr. Yates began his professional career in 2000 as an attorney in California.  After graduating from Loyola Law School, he spent the next decade representing technology companies and inventors in all aspects of intellectual property, with a particular emphasis on patent rights.  In late 2010, Mr. Yates became an entrepreneur and started his first technology company, which began a whole new professional path.  In early 2011, he stopped practicing law and pursued his passion for technology and innovation on a full-time basis.

From 2010 to 2018, Mr. Yates became the founder of more than 40 technology companies.  Each company focused on a different aspect of technology and owned exclusive, government granted patent rights.  Mr. Yates did not personally invent all of those amazing technologies, but instead partnered with extremely talented and innovative companies and individuals.  As the owner of those companies, he successfully licensed the patented technologies to more than 1,000 companies, including most of the leading technology companies in the world.

Based on his successes as an entrepreneur, many investors wanted to partner with Mr. Yates.  In order to achieve an even greater impact, in 2017, Mr. Yates partnered with prominent patent trial attorney, Rasheed McWilliams, to create a new company, iPEL, Inc., which secured $200 million in capital.  With iPEL, Mr. Yates and Mr. McWilliams are working with technology companies across the globe to develop and commercialize cutting-edge innovations. Later this year, some of iPEL’s current investments should be publicly announced.
