Risk Mitigation
Understand the Patent Risk Your Organization Faces so You Can Mitigate It
Patent Portfolios are primarily maintained to mitigate infringement risk. Being able to understand and quantify the risk your patent portfolio mitigates is key to developing your patent strategy.
82% of patent owners think it is likely that they will have to deal with patent risk in the next two years, with 40% saying it is inevitable
Patent experts understand patent risk. However, over half of patent owners do not report on patent risk until there is a significant issue.
Many reasons are given for this, including the absence of reliable data and the lack of an understanding of patents at the board level.
Are You Asking Yourself These Questions?
What level of risk is my patent portfolio mitigating?
How can I demonstrate the risk mitigation value of my portfolio?
Can I identify the real threats to my Patent portfolio, especially NPE (Non-Practising Entity) risk?
