More businesses are embracing a shift led by name-brand corporations to monetize their patents. This makes sense: As businesses are looking for new sources of value in an era of economic turbulence, an IP department can become a revenue-generator.
In this webcast, our panel of experts shared insights and best practices drawn from working with companies with significant intellectual property that have monetized their patent portfolios. We explored the range of options available, from direct monetization to indirect monetization, through which the company divests the patents to a buyer that will either hold or further monetize the patents, and the role of legal finance in any monetization strategy.
The discussion offered valuable insights for legal professionals, business leaders and IP stakeholders, including:
-
Understanding IP monetization options available to businesses
-
Crafting an optimal monetization strategy
-
The sophistication of financial structures currently available
