4. IBM Example IBM, the U.S. company that gets more patents than anybody, in an internal study some 10 years ago determined that of the 10,000 of their own patents studied only 40 had real value. Only 40. That's a whopping 0.4%. So why does IBM continue to get around 3,000 patents year after year? Because, for them, the file "early and often" scenario of applying for patents is far cheaper than the alternative of studying the potential value of a budding technology or invention. So they spend the $3,000 or so it costs for their mostly in-house patent practitioners to get a patent rather than spend $10,000, $20,000 or even more it would take to analyze future business viability. And their method pays off big time. That tiny little 0.4% nets, not grosses, nets about $2 billion a year in licensing fees alone (they don't account separately for patents where they protect their own proprietary exclusivity to some profit stream from their own products). But you can't afford the "file early and often" method of applying for patents in the hopes for a big payoff.

15. University Setting

16. Hi, Jon: To cut to the chase, though, most of the tools that are used in managing IP developed in the university setting have to do with managing the flow of discoveries/technology from the research lab to the TTO and then on to commercialization partners. Most of the rest of the resources that people use are in the following areas: 1. IP valuation tools (how to measure value) 2. Marketing tools (all kinds of business reports indicating what companies are active in which technology areas - used to target prospective licensees, of course) 3. Patent searching tools, naturally, not so much to see what might be blocking but to see whether a disclosure is novel. Then, there is the reverse side of IP Management - that is managing 3rd party rights where universities are users as opposed to developers of IP. These are mainly internal management systems and there aren't tools used - other than IP lawyers who understand the legal limitations on non-commercial or academic use of 3rd party owned patents and copyrights. --Karen
