Increasing Patent Value

There are several things you can do to increase the value of your patent before you sell or license it. Thinking Peak can help you identify and implement strategies to maximize the value of your patent.

Broaden Your Claims

The claims of your patent define the scope of your patent protection. Broader claims generally mean greater patent value. If your patent has narrow claims, you may be able to file continuation applications with broader claims to increase the scope of your patent protection.

Build a Patent Portfolio

A portfolio of related patents is generally more valuable than a single patent. If you have multiple patents in the same technology area, you may be able to bundle them into a portfolio and sell or license the portfolio as a whole.

Document Infringement

If your patent is being infringed, documenting that infringement can significantly increase the value of your patent. Potential buyers or licensees will pay more for a patent that has documented infringement because it gives them a clear path to revenue.
