Abstract

“Patents are unique! You can’t get a market price for them because they are ‘uncomparable (sic)’!” “The average price of a patent is the worst thing that has ever happened to patents.” “The model can never be accurate enough.” These are all things that we have heard about why it is impossible or horrible to attempt to find a market price for patents. Ultimately, we disagree. Within a set of reasonable constraints, you can arrive at a reasonable market price for patents.
