Portfolio Analysis

Knowing the value of your assets is at the heart of any patent strategy.  Which are your most valuable patents?  Do they produce adequate protection to your product set?  Are you prepared for future technology shifts?  What is your portfolio’s “shelf life”?  APE can assist.

Patent Acquisition/Divestiture

There are numerous reasons to consider patent acquisition to expand your portfolio.  Enhancing freedom of action on a current product set, shifts in technologies, protection of future product development, etc. are all good reasons to consider strengthening your portfolio.  Similarly, owning patents that are no longer relevant to your strategies or managing a tight maintenance budget give reason to consider divestiture.  Whether it’s acquisition or divestiture, APE can assist.

Monetization

A strong patent portfolio is a valuable corporate asset.  Certainly, it gives rise to freedom of action in your product development.  However, there may be a desire to recover the vast capital spent on producing this portfolio, and thus a return on your investment, i.e. monetization, becomes part of the patent strategy.  Whether it’s licensing others in your space, or dealing with efficient infringers, APE can assist.
