- Summary
- “This article describes a purely objective approach for comparatively rating and valuing patents based on reported abandonment rates of patents sharing statistically similar attributes. The article presents two main concepts: (1) patent value can be accurately estimated on a macro scale using a statistical survival analysis of United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTOâ€) maintenance fee records and (2) individual patent assets can be comparatively ranked or rated based on objective characteristics, or “metrics,†statistically linked to either high or low maintenance rates.†Id. at 320.
