The value of streamlined portfolios
Bookmark Icon

Like all forms of property, the value of patents fluctuates in line with trends, technologies and the march of time – yet accurate valuation is a crucial business advantage. Matt Packer highlights the importance of patent scoring

Accurate patent valuation can be a huge strategic aid. A well-managed corporate IP department can fund all of its activities through a licensing and monetisation scheme alone, and valuation is key to building that level of efficiency. It can also help to underpin decision-making processes. With a properly assessed patent portfolio in hand, a company is able to put a fair price on every licence agreement or sale and turn its IP department into a centre of profit rather than cost.
