Three ways to value a patent
| Approach | What it measures | Typically used when |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | What it cost, or would cost, to obtain equivalent protection | Early-stage assets with no revenue history |
| Market | Prices paid for comparable patents or licences | Comparable transactions can be identified |
| Income | Future royalties or cash flows the patent enables, discounted to today | The invention is used, or about to be used, commercially |
Common questions

What is a patent worth?
A patent is worth what a buyer or licensee will pay to own or use it. That depends on claim scope, validity, remaining term, the size of the market that uses the invention and how easily use can be shown. Valuations combine cost, market and income approaches; we explain which fits your case.
Which valuation method is right for my patent?
It depends on the purpose and on the data available. Where the invention generates or will generate revenue, the income approach is usually central; comparable transactions support it where they exist; the cost approach mainly serves early-stage assets.
What is evidence of use?
Evidence of use shows that a product, process or standard falls within a patent’s claims, usually as a claim chart comparing each claim element with the product. Buyers and licensees rely on it to judge what a patent is worth to them.
