Indicative portfolio value

What the patents in force and the pending applications could be worth

Each asset of this inventor priced on its own from its field, its age and what its prosecution shows, then added up. A package this size would trade below the sum.

$18 million to $130 million
412 patents in force
$3 million to $18 million
150 pending applications, weighed by the odds of allowance
$43,000 to $320,000
the average patent in force
Software and data processing260 assets$9 million to $70 million
Communications and networking140 assets$7 million to $52 million
Semiconductors and electronics90 assets$5 million to $28 million

An indicative range read from the record, not an appraisal. The claims are not read, and evidence of use, family members abroad, licenses and maintenance fees are not in the record: each can move a real price more than everything shown here. The starting range is an assumption for a routine granted US patent in a brokered sale; a buyer whose product the claims block can pay several times more.
