Due to the different possibilities of using patents, they can be a significant asset for a company. It is becoming more common that companies use patents not only as a protective shield to secure their own technology, but as an active, tradeable asset. This makes it even more important to know their value and to follow strategies to increase this value in a targeted manner.
Evaluating a patent always takes place in a specific context and for a particular reason. Therefore, different reasons for valuation require different methods that are tailored to the respective requirements. However, a thorough understanding both of the technology that the patent is based on and the market conditions and usage possibilities of the invention are necessary to achieve an appropriate and meaningful valuation. Specialists are required for this.
