Portfolio management and patent valuation


All companies should be able to determine the economic value of their patents and identify potential risks and opportunities associated with them.

There are tools available on the market that can help you to get an idea of the value of your patents and patent portfolios. This can be important for:

  • Granting licences- knowing the value of your patents puts you in a better position when it comes to negotiating licence contracts.
  • Making investment decisions - a detailed analysis of a company’s patents can be a critical factor for those investing in the company.
  • Obtaining public financing.
