What would you consider to be a successful patent? A patent that the USPTO (or other patent office) approves? A patent that is licensed? A patent that is sold? I'd like to hear your thoughts. Doug Hi Jervis,

Interesting idea. What would you consider to be a successful patent? A patent that the USPTO (or other patent office) approves? A patent that is licensed? A patent that is sold? I’d like to hear your thoughts.

Doug

I suppose that patent sellers could include a provision in the sale to keep a stake in future litigation. The company that I mentioned in the blog, Intellectual Ventures, is keeping a stake in litigation outcomes. IV is not formally auctioning patents, just selling them. Thanks for your comment Will.

Patents would certainly have to be modeled after art auctions, though, as only experienced and well-informed purchasers would be likely to buy. Additionally, I imagine purchasers would tend to be more interested in buying entire patent portfolios, or at least packages of related patents, as the value of an individual patent standing alone is often dwarfed in comparison to the value of its portfolio. I wonder if there would still be room for the sellers to maintain a stake in subsequent litigation outcomes. Certainly an interesting idea.
