Valuation & Scoring

Can I get a second opinion on my patent's commercial worth?

The short answer

Yes — and the data says you should. Research estimates the rents patents capture at only about 2% of R&D spend, meaning owners systematically overestimate what their patent should be worth based on what they invested. An independent read is cheap insurance against both overpricing and underselling.

The full picture

Second opinions matter because the first one usually came from someone with a stake: the attorney who prosecuted it, the broker who wants the listing, or the owner who poured years into it. None of them is lying — they just see the asset from inside their own incentive.

An independent commercialization score gives you a factor-by-factor read you can stress-test: market size, claim strength, remaining term, detectability, momentum, each scored against benchmarks. If it confirms your expectations, you negotiate with confidence. If it doesn't, you just saved months chasing a number that was never there. Quotes are quick — send your patent number to ad@broadview-holdings.com.
