Building, Licensing and Valuing Patent Portfolios
Building with Alignment
Generating patents can be difficult, but making them without a strategy can waste money and leave value on the table. You need a well thought out patent strategy that is aligned to serve the Company's goals. We developed a tried and true portfolio development methodology that makes it possible to align a patent portfolio with the Company's goals. We have developed many 100+ patent asset portfolios while maintaining the alignment to produce high value.

Commercializing
We have been developing commercialization strategies for almost 20 years. Many companies have to choose carefully what to license and what to commercialize for themselves. Many just want to stop all competition when it may be more lucrative to strategically license the market.

Licensing
We have a long history of executing on the licensing strategies we develop. We developed a licensing program, ultimately purchased by Philips for nearly $800m, that enabled an entire market with over 1,000 licenses. We have also successfully in-licensed and acquired patents to defray risks and to further develop the Company's portfolio. Recently, we sold one of the portfolios we developed for over $100m to a Fortune 50 company.

Valuation
We use a number of methods to value patents and portfolios. This is a very important step for any patent or licensing program. This tends to be somewhat complex because of the need to consider other's patents within the Company's field. A thorough understanding of the patent 'stack' is essential for a successful license, cross-license, sale or purchase.
