I am looking for information on evaluating a patent portfolio as a financial
asset where the worth of the patents themselves is evaluated independently
of the worth of the technology they cover. Each patent in each country will
require individual assessment but are there any underlying principles that
can be used? If anyone has any experience in this field or can guide me to
any papers, etc. on the subject, I should be very pleased to hear from them.
Thank you
