Patents are the new currency of the knowledge-based economy. The emerging market for patent sale and acquisition contributes to the liquidity of this new currency, which in turn strengthens the knowledge-based economy.
GPC patent brokerage services can help patent owners monetize their dormant IP assets – or help patent buyers to quickly build patent portfolios. Buyers and sellers alike benefit from working with a patent broker who is expert at patent valuation and has decades of experience in the intellectual property field.
Who might need GPC patent brokerage services?
Technology firms, traditional businesses, inventors, research facilities and other patent owners that have patents that aren't being used for their core business, but which may be more valuable to another firm or organization, should look into selling their patents. The patent is a wasting asset. If you don’t use your patents, you may want to sell them before they expire.
Why use GPC's patent brokerage business unit to sell your unused patents? Just consider the benefits of having an experienced patent broker working for you:
- Your unused patents are collecting dust and costing you maintenance fees, but may be gold to a company that needs them.
- We handle full-portfolio and single-patent transactions.
- We're paid on performance, using our experience and intellectual property expertise to monetize underperforming patents at no risk to the seller.
- Let General Patent market your patent to potential buyers while you focus on running your business.
Patent brokerage services for buyers
Buyers can also benefit from having an experienced patent broker on their side. Whether you need more related patents to augment and strengthen your existing portfolio or wish to branch out into a new area of technology, General Patent can help you find the patents you need and negotiate their acquisition.
