I see a market developing over the next 10 years for reliable analytics on patent-share value. And you’re right that patent valuation will be influenced by the particular patent holder and their history of enforcement / monetization (e.g., are they well funded, how solid is their other IP, have they won before). I mention a few factors that can affect valuation here: http://www.investinip.com/creating-open-free-market-patent-exchange-parts-4-5-7/.

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.

Valuation based on partial shares of a patent? Would need a way to understand market value on widgets vs. process patents. Gamble upside/downside is huge. We use private equity and IPOs in tech stocks presently but I dig a transparent patent futures market.

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.
