Patent Acquisition

Acquiring patents is a strategy many companies use to;

  • Supplement an existing portfolio for wider product coverage,
  • Acquire IP protection when launching a new line of business or,
  • Increase portfolio strength in licensing negotiations.

However, patent purchase can be a risky investment as the portfolios can be expensive and the value of the patent is not always immediately evident. GIS can help you to identify key patents and provide you with the information you require to make an informed decision to purchase or not.

 

Auction transactions: Let GIS review both the patents and the market prior to the auction, allowing for an informed decision on the value of the portfolio before the bidding starts.

Private sale transactions: Private sale portfolios vary in size, and have a limited timeline from review to bid. Many IP professionals have limited time to evaluate a large number of patents in a very short time frame. GIS experts will triage and review the portfolio and provide a manageable amount of information, based on customer requirements, to help with the decision making process before it becomes a missed opportunity.
