I’ve always felt that the Richardson Oliver Patent Market report is helpful in setting expectations before going to market to buy or sell patents. I don’t believe it’s reflective of ALL patent transactions (nor is it intended to be) but it does serve as one of the only publicly-available analysis of the secondary patent market. There’s several helpful data points in here, but the biggest takeaway: “It’s more critical than ever for sellers to provide buyers with fully analysed claim charts and price assets correctly.” #patents #patentbrokers #patentsales #ipmonetization cc: Kent Richardson Lacy Kolo Roy D'Souza Oommen Thomas Nick Baciu Justin Lewis Josh Gammon
