Download or read book Essentials of Patents written by Andy Gibbs and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-03-25 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are many books on "how to patent" and patent law, Essentials of Patents delivers practical advice on how to leverage patents as a powerful competitive corporate tool. This is not your "ordinary patent book". It's emphasis is directed to patent management with the express emphasis of increasing shareholder value, and it's audience, each with its own chapter, includes the CEO / ICO, CFO, CTO, and cross functional managers of HR, Engineering, Manufacturing and IT. Essentials of Patents is arguably one of the first works on intellectual property that drives home the importance of patent creation, protection and exploitation throughout the enterprise. Gibbs and DeMatteis show how patents can enhance competitive intelligence, product development cost reduction, product line expansion, and revenue streams, making this guide a must-have for the savvy manager. In it, the authors introduce a new management methodology: Patent Quality Management, or "PQM". With public company market values more than 90% attributable to the value of intangible assets and patents, the time has come for all corporate managers, not just R&D and legal counsel, to master intellectual property management in this competitive global market (and shareholders are demanding it).
Download or read book Financial Patent Quality written by Joshua Lerner and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past two decades, patents of inventions related to financial services ("finance patents"), as well as litigation around these patents, have surged. One of the repeated concerns voiced by academics and practitioners alike has been about the quality of these patents in particular, and business method patents more generally. In particular, because so much of the prior work in these areas has not been patented, concerns have been expressed as to the extent to which the awards reflect this knowledge. Inspired by these issues, this paper empirically examines the quality of finance patents in the years after the landmark litigation between State Street Bank and Signature Financial Group. We show that relative to two sets of comparison groups, finance patents in aggregate cite fewer non-patent publications and especially fewer academic publications. This finding holds across the major assignee groups. In addition, it appears that patents assigned to individuals and associated with non-practicing entities (NPEs) cite less academic work than those assigned to non-NPE corporations. While not statistically significant due to the small number of academic citations in finance patents, we observe qualitatively similar patterns of under-citation when we restrict our analysis to finance patents held by individuals and NPEs, as opposed to non-NPE corporations. These findings raise questions about the quality of finance patents. We also explore litigated finance patents and discuss how the results here may reflect differences in the quality of finance patents relative to other areas. We find that, as earlier work has suggested, finance patents are more likely to be litigated than non-finance patents, but increased academic citations appear to reduce that possibility relative to others. Collectively, these findings raise important questions about the quality of finance patents and the proliferation of litigation in this domain.
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.

Download or read book What You Need to Know Before You Shell Out 10 000 Or More on a Patent written by Rob W. Gramer and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-09 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is going to present to you a very different take on patenting ideas. In fact, you're going to hear something pretty much NO patent attorney with their own law firm will ever tell you. The goal of this book is simple. To give you the information to determine if your idea - the idea that will most likely cost $10,000 or more to patent - is worth investing in. Because, ultimately, if you spend $10,000 or more on a patent...you want to make that money back (and then some), right? You want that $10,000 to turn into $20,000...$100,000 ...$1 million or more. Well, I'm here to tell you, that doesn't always happen. This book will explain why. And will give you a few simple, straightforward tactics for turning a profit on your idea inside of the first 30 days. Now, I have to warn you. This is much different than what you'll usually hear about patents and the process of protecting your ideas. The reason why I say this is because the content is based off an interview with someone I call a "patent gatekeeper." She is a patent agent and holds her doctorate in chemistry from one of the top 3 universities in the world - the University of California in Berkley. And she's drafted patents for Eli Lilly, a global pharmaceutical company with sales of $23 billion in 2013. Today, she works for one of the biggest colleges in the country, in their technology development department. There, she reviews all of the ideas the university faculty produces. And she decides whether or not these ideas will or will not receive university money for patent protection. That means, she literally looks at hundreds of ideas every year, from a wide variety of different angles...and determines whether or not they are worth it for the university to pursue. And, she has to decide if it makes FINANCIAL SENSE for the university to invest in patenting ideas the university faculty produce. She has to decide if there is... A commercial application for the idea. If they patent it, can the faculty start a business and sell aspects of the idea (of which the university takes a percentage)? A licensing aspect of the idea. Is this something the university can license out for a profit? A necessary protection aspect so the faculty can continue research. Remember, much university research is supplied by government grants or private funding. Sometimes a patent is necessary so the faculty can continue research (and continue receiving money from outside sources). In essence, she has to decide if the patent is financially viable! And so should you, before you hand over tens of thousands of dollars to patent attorney. Which is why I think you'll find the information in this book so valuable. Here's what's inside: The single most profitable type of technology that big universities LOVE to protect (and why this is much different than what most individual inventors look to patent) How to tell if you are getting screwed by your patent attorney When pursuing your idea actually breaks the law How to do a free patent search online How to connect with local entrepreneurs and investors using your local university 3 things you should bring to your first meeting with a patent attorney (this will save time and keep costs down in the long run) How inventors lose patent protection even after the patent is issued Hidden patent fees! How some patent attorneys hide the true cost of your patent application (and how this could easily TRIPLE the cost of your patent) How to multiple the value of your invention 10 times or more Ready to give up because your idea is already patented? Why this could make you even MORE money When you SHOULDN'T do a patent search Plus much more

This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 271 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 Business Method Patents and U S Financial Services written by Robert M. Hunt and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A decade after the State Street decision, more than 1,000 business method patents are granted each year. Yet only one in ten is obtained by a financial institution. Most business method patents are also software patents. Have these patents increased innovation in financial services? To address this question we construct new indicators of R&D intensity based on the occupational composition of financial industries. The financial sector appears more research intensive than official statistics would suggest, but less than the private economy taken as a whole. There is considerable variation across industries but little apparent trend. There does not appear to be an obvious effect from business method patents on the sector's research intensity. Looking ahead, three factors suggest the patent system may affect financial services as it has electronics: (1) the sector's heavy reliance on information technology; (2) the importance of standard setting; and (3) the strong network effects exhibited in many areas of finance. Even today litigation is not uncommon; we sketch a number of significant examples affecting financial exchanges and consumer payments. The legal environment is changing quickly. We review a number of important federal court decisions that will affect how business method patents are obtained and enforced. We also review a number of proposals under consideration in the U.S. Congress.
