“The 2021 Brokered Patent Market.” Richardson et. al. IAM Media (March 2022)

By | Publication | No Comments

Since we started tracking the brokered patent market in 2012, we have seen more than $38 billion worth of patent assets offered on the market. As market information becomes more accessible, more companies participate and close deals.

In this report, you will find asking prices by technology, buying trends, advice on buying practices and much more.

This is our 10th consecutive year of publishing our annual market report, and we are always trying to improve the report. Please drop us a note with any comments or suggestions.

We provide these reports in an effort to bring greater transparency to the market. To that end, we just finished our ROI Real Prices survey of more than 35 recognized IP leading companies. The survey analyzed the closing prices of over 760 deals worth more than $2 billion. Although we cannot include the results of that report here, they were compelling. Please contact us if you would like more information about ROI Real Prices.
