Valuation & Scoring
How does my patent compare to others in the same technology area?
The short answer
Benchmark against two public datasets: citation and claim profiles in the patent record, and royalty benchmarks in your industry. Thirty years of deal data show industry medians ranging from 4.3% (semiconductors) to 6.1% (medical/health, telecom) — knowing your industry's band tells you whether your expectations match your market.
The full picture
Free comparison points hiding in plain sight: how often your patent is cited by later filings (forward citations signal relevance), how your independent claims read versus competitors', how large your patent family is, and whether peers in your space are licensing actively or letting patents lapse.
A structured landscape read goes further — mapping your claims against the twenty nearest patents to show where you're broader, narrower, or blocking. That's the comparison buyers will run on you anyway; better to see it first. It's a standard part of how we score patents, and it changes negotiating positions more than any other single analysis.
Where does your patent stand?
The Beyond the Patent Commercialization Score answers that — a professional, factor-by-factor read on your patent's licensing, sale, build, and partner potential.
