This session starts with the economics of patent monetization and highlights the uncertainties inherent to patents as intangible assets. It then moves to discuss the key issues on the demand side of the patent monetization market, including the differences in the demand drivers of patents between operating company buyers and NPEs or patent investment funds. The session also surveys the landscape of the supply side and explains why the current economic slowdown will lead to an increasing flow of patents into the market. The session concludes that the strong demand, especially the demand from NPEs and patent investment funds backed by billions in capital, together with the expected plentiful supply of patents during the economic downturn, will make the patent monetization a good business to be in during the next year or two.
