A message from Via Licensing Alliance President, Kevin Mack

January 14, 2026

As Via Licensing Alliance enters a new phase of growth, I am excited to have the opportunity to lead this remarkable organization at such an important moment in its evolution.

For decades, Via has played a defining role in global patent licensing and IP innovation, helping to shape the patent pool landscape worldwide. The company’s reputation as a trusted bridge between licensors and licensees—known for integrity, creativity, and collaboration—speaks for itself, as does its track record of bringing forward new solutions that accelerate global licensing and innovation.

I very much look forward to building on Via’s legacy of licensing excellence and leadership and to work alongside such a talented team as we guide the organization to new heights. We are seeing tremendous momentum at Via, and I am particularly excited about our upcoming Business Summit in Rome this March, which will highlight both the strength of our business and the opportunities that lie ahead for our licensors and licensees. In the coming weeks and months, we’ll have the opportunity to share some exciting new deals and announcements further illustrating our continued momentum and growth.

I thank the Via Board and everyone who has placed their trust in me to take on this new role and launch a new phase of growth for Via.
