PATENT PORTFOLIOS, which is the third of three books that make up "The Patent Quality Series", includes four main sections: First, a definition of "excellent patent portfolio", with an explanation of ten principles related to such a portfolio and a close review of the patent portfolios of four high-tech companies in the areas of Internet firewalls, electronic signatures, cameras, and cellular telephones, respectively. Second, an explanation of how to obtain an excellent patent portfolio. Key concepts of patent portfolios are presented, particularly the concept of Technology Inflection Points. Two critical issues of portfolio management are discussed - (1) Build versus Buy, and (2) Quality versus Quantity. A model is presented by which a company may manage an in-house patenting program. Third, various methods of budgeting for patents are presented, including bottom-up budgeting, top-down budgeting, competitive budgeting, and hybrid budgeting. There is a discussion also of the conflict between targeted results and targeted costs. Fourth, a summary in Question & Answer format reviewing the main concepts of an excellent patent portfolio, managing portfolios, budgeting for patent investment, and special topics such as Technology Inflection Points, patent aggregation, patent pools, and methods of patent evaluation. The book ends with an extensive Glossary of terms related to patent portfolios.This book is intended for anyone who wants to build or manage an excellent patent portfolio. It is intended also for anyone evaluating a patent portfolio with intent to take actions related to all or part of the portfolio - buy, sell, license-in, license-out, develop further, or design around the portfolio.
Download or read book Patent Engineering written by Donald S. Rimai and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-01-25 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patents are a vital asset in the modern business world. They allow patent holders to introduce new products in to a market while deterring other market players from simply copying innovative features without making comparable investments in research and development. In years past, a few patents may have provided adequate protection. That is no longer the case. In today's world, it is critical that innovative companies protect the features of their products that give them a competitive advantage with a family or portfolio of patents that are strategically generated to protect the market position of the patent holder. A patent portfolio that deters competitors from introducing competitive products in a timely manner can be worth billions of dollars. Anything less than this is an expensive and possibly fatal distraction. This book provides a strategic framework for cost efficient engineering of patent portfolios that protect your investments in research and development and that extend the market advantages that these investments provide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM PATENT TO PROFIT Patents and patent strategies are increasingly pertinent to the success of information age businesses, from affecting valuations to gaining tax advantages to increasing the starting price per share when taking a company public. Patent Strategy illustrates the impact patents can have on technology-driven businesses' tactical and strategic efforts. Here is step-by-step guidance to the patent process, the laws, and basic strategies-from a business-goal perspective-so that middle and upper-level managers can recognize the significance of patents in relation to a particular business and can incorporate proper patent management efforts into their business framework. In addition, this book serves as an invaluable reference for management and executives when making patent-related decisions such as whether a patent infringement study must be performed; whether the budget for patent matters should be increased or decreased; whether attempts should be made to license certain patent technology; and whether the firm should sue for patent infringement. * Case studies throughout the book give you a specific business context within which to consider the concepts introduced * Statistics are presented to assist you in assessing various issues, planning patent strategies, and implementing patent management programs

This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patents are powerful weapons in a company's legal arsenal, with both defensive and offensive capabilities. Patents protect a company's innovation from potential infringers, while at the same time support the company's efforts to exploit their innovation commercially in the global marketplace. This book explores the role of patents in today's knowledge economy. We discuss how patents have become a valuable commodity and have a lucrative market of their own. However, to profit from patent monetization, this Patent market must be closely linked to the R&D market and the Product Market. This book offers a systematic approach to patent deployment to maximize profits beginning with data collection from patent, journal and business sources. Readers will be guided through analyses of the patent landscape to identify traps and opportunities for commercialization. This book argues that patents must be aggregated into portfolios to maximize their effectiveness and value in the modern economy. With strong patent portfolios, companies can be engaged in licensing and more sophisticated business models like forming patent alliances and collaborating with IP intermediaries. Finally, the book will provide an overview of the various ways of valuing patents and suggest some simplified approaches for management to value the company's patents.

Download or read book True Patent Value written by Larry M. Goldstein and published by Larry Goldstein. This book was released on 2013 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patent owners are constantly asking, "How do I know if my patent's any good?" "How do I write an application that will produce a good patent?" "Is my patent portfolio worth anything?" The author, a U.S. registered patent attorney specializing in the technical areas known as Information & Communication Technologies, has been asked this question dozens of times. He wrote this book specifically to answer the question, "What is a high-quality patent?" True Patent Value is the first of three books that make up "The Patent Quality Series". The book includes three main sections: * First, a review of basic patent concepts, and of techniques used by professional evaluators to review and rate patent quality. * Second, twenty case studies of more than fifty patents - specific patent claims are shown to be good or bad, resulting in patent sales for millions of dollars, court decisions for hundreds of millions of dollars, or in some cases, complete loss. This section also includes an analysis of the patent portfolios of three high-tech companies, reviewed by quality, by geographic balance, and by balance over time. Each case study or portfolio analysis concludes with a short and pointed list of "Lessons Learned". * Third, a summary in an easy-to-understand Question & Answer format organized by main topic, followed by a Glossary of more than eighty terms used in patent analysis.This book is intended for four groups of readers: (1) patent attorneys and agents looking for a concentration of live cases where specific drafting created (or failed to create) valuable patents; (2) entrepreneurs and engineers who until now had no way of judging how good their patents really are; (3) patent brokers, corporate executives, and corporate Board members, contemplating billion-dollar portfolio sales; and (4) investment advisors, equity analysts, and investment bankers working with high-tech companies who need to understand the value of a patent portfolio.

Download or read book Patent portfolios and pharmaceuticals a European perspective written by AREZZO EMANUELA and published by Giappichelli. This book was released on 2023-02-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes undertakings’ tendency today to protect their intangible technical property through a portfolio of patents. Such trend is in part triggered by the very same feature of modern innovation which, being today complex and cumulative, demands for more patents to efficiently protect its inventive trail. At the same time, undertakings have come to realize that the patent portfolio vests its owner with a set of strategic advantages which exceed by far the mere excluding powers conferred by the patents contained therein. The latter circumstance igniting a vicious circle, whereby firms patent more and more. While fully compliant with patent law, portfolios may cause dangerous drawbacks for competing innovators, as the cluster builds up entry barriers sometimes very hard to surpass. This all the more so in the pharmaceutical sector where the portfolios can be successfully implemented against both originators and generic companies, hence threatening the entrance of generic drugs and biosimilars. The book provides for an in-depth analysis of patent law substantive – as well as procedural – provisions allowing to build patent portfolios in the pharmaceutical sector. It then moves to analyze cases where patent portfolios have been implemented to the goal of foreclosing access to competitors, and the different outcomes provided with by patent law and by competition law.
Download or read book Investing in Patents written by Russell Krajec and published by Blueiron Press. This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most patents are worthless. By some estimations, this could be true of 95% of patents. Startup companies don't help themselves by making fatal mistakes, from filing provisional patents (almost always a bad idea) to treating their first patent as the most important one in their portfolio (it almost never is). How can an investor help their portfolio companies navigate the system? "Investing In Patents" discusses the patent process from an investor's view, but with insider knowledge.Investment-grade patents do not just happen by chance, they are curated through due diligence prior to filing the patent, then careful and consistent management through the process. Good patents are clear, straightforward, and easy to read. Understandable patent applications are easier to examine, meaning the issued patent is legitimate and defensible. Good patents have real, solid commercial value. The value of a patent only comes when it captures commercial value - not when it captures some cool technology. BlueIron IP's business is investing in patents, and this book discusses BlueIron's techniques and tools for evaluating inventions and managing portfolios specifically for startup companies. Startup companies have specific characteristics and needs that dictate strategies that often do not apply to larger companies with established products and systems. "Investing In Patents" discusses how startups need to manage their patent process, and how investors and guide them.
Download or read book Consider a Spherical Patent written by Joseph E. Gortych and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-02-24 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get Critical Insight into the Modern Patenting Scene We are now living in the "IP Era of the Information Age" where technology businesses are placing increasing emphasis on intellectual property (IP) as a way to add to their bottom lines. As a consequence, those working in a technology business or organization will inevitably be thrust into working with IP in one or more of its various forms. This increasing emphasis on IP matters requires technology workers to have at least a basic practical understanding of IP, particularly patents, so that they can effectively participate in their organizations’ IP and patenting efforts. Consider a Spherical Patent: IP and Patenting in Technology Business provides an unconventional and unvarnished examination of patents and the reality of how they are used and abused in technology business. The book starts with an overview of patents and how the patenting universe has become so complex, and warns of the danger of making "spherical," simplifying assumptions about patents and patent-related matters. It then takes a look at the cast of characters in the modern patenting world and the roles they play at the "IP Bazaar." The book goes on to explain the increasing emphasis in today’s modern IP world of leveraging patents in large collections of patents called "portfolios." The author describes how the fractal nature of innovation allows for the exponential growth of patents to densely pack an "IP space," including how this packing can exceed its normal limits and the adverse consequences. He also explores the evolution and importance of core to improvement to commercialization patents. A modern view of patents based on "quantum patent mechanics" explains some of the mysterious patent-related phenomena that are otherwise inexplicable using "classical patent mechanics." Using examples of actual patents and patent portfolios of real technology businesses, the author discusses how patenting strategies are defined based on "central organizing principles" behind why patents are being pursued. He describes the operational realities of running an internal patenting system as well as how to avoid the prevalent trap of accepting a high degree of disorder (entropy) in the business’s patenting system. He also takes a close look at other problematic areas, such as the use and abuse of provisional patent applications and how "no shame claims" can be issued by the patent office and the havoc they can create.
