Yikes! Yes, many patents are worth little, but some are really really valuable. As I lived through and watched the dot-com bubble grow and burst, I watched as investors couldn't discern the valuable from the not valuable. At first, all e-biz was perceived as valuable (because the investors didn't know better). Life was good (for me, a software patent attorney). Then, e-biz was perceived as not valuable (because the investors didn't know better). Life was bad, or at least nowhere near as good as before. I think investors are starting to be able to tell valuable e-biz propositions from the not so valuable ones. Advertising revenue on the 'net is on the rise. Life is better. But, man, I'd hate to go through another market shake-out like that one! But one thing I don't understand is why patent valuation hasn't been figured out yet. They're not exactly new. US patents have been around for over 200 years. Hey, here ya go: "System and method for meaningful valuation of US patents"! I'll get working on that right away! Regards. |
