Prestigious roots
3LP was founded by pioneers in the field of technology and intellectual property strategy. Founding Partner Kevin Rivette formerly ran IP strategy at IBM, wrote an internationally acclaimed strategy book (Rembrandts in the Attic), and founded a software company that was the first to digitize the US patent database. Rivette joined the leaders of the IP strategy practice at The Boston Consulting Group (“BCG”), a globally renowned management consulting firm. The BCG team, which included 3LP co-founder Ralph Eckardt, built a highly-successful IP strategy consulting practice that partnered with some of the world’s largest technology-focused companies.
