Arthur Auslander on May 20, 2001 at 12:47:17: : : :Is there an on-line marketplace for patents? : : Here's some sites listed under "Patent Licensing Exchanges" : Dear Mr. T, : The URL looks as if it is the authentuce EPO site. Patents just can't be traded as commodities. Just having a patent does not mean a thing unless the CLAIMS broadly cover the invention. : There are scams out there to get you patents which the do. One in ten thousand get more than they pay. : This is not a suggestion to give up, it is a warning for caution even when dealing with a legitimate Patent lawyer. : Patents are easy to get. Good patents still may not make money. The best patent I have ever gotten hasn't made a cent. The company that looked at it and turned it down won a $50,000,000 prized for turning out an inferior product that didn't infringe the inventors patent. AA, Chill man, I don't need a lecture (again). Our pal Phil was just asking where patent exchange markets exist and I pointed him to several. (I agree that they have yet to prove their worth)
