Are patents still valuable? What happened to Rockstar, Spherix, Apple and Samsung, Google/Motorola, Microsoft, and AOL? Inventions are now bought and sold worldwide as businesses, institutes, agencies, and inventors seek to monetize their intellectual property, frequently through the sale or litigation of patents. This seminar provides a brief overview of technology intellectual property - the concepts of copyright, trade secret, and patents - and then review the patent marketplace from several perspectives, discussing high-tech / IT patent strategy along with several patent valuation approaches including key economic and legal factors. The seminar will incorporate perspectives gained from 40+ years of patent investing, venture capital, startups, litigation, and licensing.
