Every Patent, Everywhere, All at Once” is the subtitle to this year’s Richardson Oliver secondary patent market report.

Since we started tracking the brokered patent market in 2012, we have seen more than $38 billion worth of patent assets offered on the market.

How do you value a “by definition” unique asset like a patent using comparables? In this session, Kent Richardson of Richardson Oliver Insights shows how patent market pricing information can be used to determine the market value of a patent (or patents).

Who buys patents? Why? What do they pay? What happens to the patents when they are sold? What is the price of the patents today? Kent Richardson has been producing the authoritative secondary patent market report for almost ten years. Joe Kucera, Director IP Strategy at Pure Storage, and Rob Guay, Senior Counsel, IP at Shopify, will be joining the panel to discuss their experiences transacting patents to further their IP strategies.

With many hundreds of patent packages available at any given time, how can you ensure that your offering stands out as attractive and viable to serious buyers? Industry veterans from buyers, sellers, and brokers discuss topics like identifying and packaging patents, and pricing.

As thought leaders of the Industry, we are asked to navigate through an ever-changing environment. The LES 2017 Annual Meeting supports your professional development and will feature thought-provoking panel discussions about IP Litigation and Trade Secrets, as well as future-focused presentations including Global Commercialization, and game-changing networking opportunities.
