The Patent Is Just the Beginning

Obtaining a patent is not the end of the road; it’s the starting point for a variety of strategic business moves you can make. Your patent is an asset—like any other, it needs to be managed, nurtured, and put to work.

Maximizing Impact: Three Key Strategies

1. Licensing and Partnerships: Generate revenue by licensing your patented software to others in the industry.

2. Defensive Stance: Utilize your patent to block competitors from encroaching on your market space.

3. Portfolio Development: Use your current patent as a foundation for future innovations, building a stronger, more comprehensive intellectual property portfolio.

Understanding Patent Value

The real value of your patent comes from its strategic use in business scenarios. Whether you are looking to merge, acquire, or simply lead in market share, the way you utilize your patent can be a game-changer.

Actionable Business Take-away:

To extract the most value from your patents, consider them as strategic business assets rather than mere legal checkboxes. From licensing to partnerships, your patent can be the key to scaling your business, blocking competition, and setting the stage for future innovations.
