Our clients are using NLPatent as a launch pad for all of their prior art searches, incorporating our platform into some of their core business activities, such as R&D, patent drafting, and litigation. --- Patents as Business Assets Less than 5% of all patents have any commercial value. Despite that, millions of new patent applications are filed worldwide each year, and the average cost of securing a patent is around $15,000. But if 95% of all patents are unprofitable, that means billions of dollars are wasted. Conversely, a tiny fraction of patents generate over $180 billion in licensing fees annually, and damages awards for patent infringement can exceed $1 billion. So in a way patents are like very expensive lottery tickets. NLPatent increases your chances of winning by helping you assess whether an idea is revolutionary - or trivial - so you can make the right business decisions.
