Q & A about Patent Valuations

Q: How is the patent value determined?

A: A Patent Valuator will value the patent using several factors including: the actual or potential sales of the product or service protected by the patent, the strength of the patent, and the size of the market for the product or service protected by the patent. If you have a target company who you want to sell the patent to, we will do additional analysis on the value gained if this specific company were to buy or license your patent.

Q: Why do I need a patent valuation?

A: To get an idea of what your patent is worth. If you are considering selling or licensing your patent to someone else or a company, how do you respond if they ask you what do you want for the patent? You don't want to say too high or too low. A patent valuation gives you a starting point of discussion with a prospective purchaser or licensee. It can also be used to strengthen the appeal of your patent. For example, you may tell a potential buyer that you are interested in selling a patent with a certain value to them. Furthermore, if you order a patent valuation that is considers a specific company (the company specific valuation), the valuation will state how the patent will further benefit the specific company and how much additional value the patent may bring to that company.
