Others have brought up the point about tech stocks. Difference with patent shares is that you can isolate and invest in particular technology areas, as represented by a patented-technology sector. With a tech stock, you invest in the company as a whole–this may include several technology sectors.

Appreciate you sharing your thoughts. With the recent activity re patent reform, I’ll be posting another series. If something jogs your interest, please let me know.

Perhaps use Non Commodity based examples for value prop. In fact this reminds a bit of the fee paid to an writer for submitting his/her forward to a publisher. Potentiality. Skew within marketplace and a negative hedge would take place when known patent holders…that were previously successful submitted another patent.

Interesting.

SUBJECT LINE: Patent Reform–Save our Patent Clause

————————————

Senator Cornyn,

I am writing you in dire urgency–our Patent Clause is in jeopardy.

Please see the full letter here: http://www.investinip.com/letter-senate-december-7-2013/

I urge you to support making our patent monetization system stronger, not weakening our litigation system.

Shoot down S. 1612 (Patent Litigation Integrity Act), and instead support a more sound alternative to patent reform, one built upon open, free-market principles and rooted in the Constitutional underpinnings of our Patent Clause (you can read more here — http://www.investinip.com/how-do-we-achieve-patent-reform/).

Thank you for your consideration.

May God Bless our Patent Clause.

Are you letting them expire? Are you paying the maintenance fees? Are you filing additional patent applications into the technology class? Is the number of patents in the portfolio increasing, decreasing, or remaining neutral?

All these factors will affect investor perception re how much you value your own technology class.

Be sure to designate the technology classes broad enough in areas where you are actually interested in continuing to research and maintain patent activity.
