• Patent Brokering (Patent Sales and Licensing)
  • Patents are complicated assets whose values depend upon a number of factors including the strength and breadth of the claims, whether the technology is in use today or there is a likelihood that it will be practiced in the future, and the size of the impacted market and related revenues. There are also several factors that can decrease the value of a patent including encumbrances such as licenses, similar prior art, or issues with the prosecution history. A thorough understanding of these factors from a business, legal, and technical perspective will ensure that we realize the maximum values of your assets.
