Patent Mining
A recent study by McKinsey (”Getting More from Intellectual Property”, by Meagan Dietz and Jeffrey Elton, McKinsey Quarterly, 2004 Number 4) found that
Companies can raise their overall licensing revenues by using in-licensing specifically to generate out-licensing revenues: that is, incorporating in-licensing ideas and technology to improve their own products and processes and then turning around and out-licensing the improved products.
They go on to say of that companies that engage in this in-to-out license activity, 64% of them derive more than 10% of corporate revenues from licensing. Thus, Neopatents will help you identify patents you can acquire to fill gaps in your portfolio or counter a cert to resolve litigation.
