Patent Brokering
Patents are a complicated asset whose value depends upon a number of factors including the strength and breadth of the claims, whether or not the invention is being practiced today (or the likelihood that it will be in the future), and the size of the impacted market and related revenues. There are also several factors that can decrease value of a patent including encumbrances such as licenses, similar prior art, or issues with the prosecution history.
