Just Granted: First Steps

Why isn't anyone interested in my patent?

The short answer

Usually it's packaging or pricing, not the invention. Brokered-market analysts describe the current market as one where sellers struggle while buyers 'quietly clean up' — prices have stabilized below seller expectations, and evidence-light listings get ignored while well-packaged ones move.

The full picture

Silence typically traces to one of five causes: the target list is wrong (companies without a real stake in your claims), the pitch describes the invention instead of the opportunity, there's no evidence of use, the price expectations don't match the market, or the outreach never reached a person who can say yes.

Rarely is the answer 'the patent is worthless.' More often the asset is fine and the go-to-market is missing. A structured review — claims, market, targets, packaging — almost always finds the fixable problem. If you're getting silence and want to know which of the five it is, that's a quick diagnosis we're glad to make.
