Strategy to Monetize Blockchain Patent Before Your Competitors – GreyB
Blockchain has been the subject of numerous patent applications over the past decade. However, compared to other technologies, the number of issued blockchain patents is modest due to the lengthy time lag between filing and issuance, averaging 23.2 months. This developmental stage means there is limited knowledge and experience in monetizing blockchain patents effectively. As […]
10 Proven Patent Licensing & Monetization Strategies for Business Growth
A common challenge in creating a patent licensing and monetization strategy is establishing a balance between patent protection and generating significant revenue. Many companies struggle to capitalize on their patents. On average, only 5-10% of a company’s patents are licensed out, indicating a large number of patents are underutilized. On the other hand, companies like […]

Power of Patent Infringement Analysis to get Higher Value for your IP-Assets
The Richardson Oliver Patent Market Report 2023 found that patents with documented evidence of use can command significantly higher prices. These premiums range from a staggering 32% to a whopping 108% compared to patents without such evidence. Such data highlights the importance of patent enforceability, which translates to stronger negotiating power during licensing or patent sales. This […]
Detecting AI Patent Infringement: No Product Will Stay Hidden
Unlike traditional inventions with clear descriptions, AI patents, especially those with complex neural networks, are difficult to understand. Additionally, the lack of detailed explanations in AI patents and the difficulty of finding truly relevant information makes it challenging to identify product overlap effectively. This necessitates the development of adaptive strategies for detecting AI patent infringement. […]
Qi Standard Mapping: Smart IP Licensing Move to Boost Revenue
IP Licensing is no longer a unique practice in dynamic technology domains. However, the key to success lies in finding the smartest and most creative strategy for analyzing infringement, which can significantly increase the revenue generated from a single patent. But what exactly will be the smartest strategy? This case study exemplifies how QI standard mapping […]
Quickly Identify Non-SEPs To Optimize Your SEP Licensing Strategy
Identifying Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) is a resource-intensive task, especially when dealing with a large patent portfolio. In this process, manual analysis is the preferred method, but examining patents that are unlikely to be SEPs can lead to inefficient portfolio management and limit strategic decision-making during SEP licensing. Therefore, to avoid investing valuable resources into […]

Streaming crystal-clear 8K content on a phone without buffering, even on unreliable internet, is no longer a far-fetched thought. This seemingly magical experience relies heavily on the intricate video compression technologies developed by industry leaders like Dolby and JVC Kenwood. Although this is commonly known, these companies are being highlighted in this case study for […]
Confirming Product Overlap in Patent Infringement Analysis with Limited Online Resources
The standard approach to prove product overlap during patent infringement analysis involves researching online resources such as product manuals, datasheets, and FAQs. However, online literature won’t always provide conclusive evidence for technology overlap in certain high-tech sectors such as LiDAR (Light Detection and ranging) and semiconductors. This issue is compounded by the complexity of the […]
