Patent Monetization: Assessing Today’s Environment and Tomorrow’s Prospects

Send us a text

To successfully monetize a patent portfolio, it is necessary to identify the value within the portfolio and to put in the work to prove to third parties and potential partners that that value exists. But even then, even when all the hard work has been done, after quality assets have been obtained, after evidence of use has been gathered and negotiations have begun, there are no guarantees.

This week on IPWatchdog Unleashed we enter the world of patent monetization, with a conversation about patent licensing and dealmaking—and of course the enforcement landscape. We also discuss the impact the Patent Trial and Appeal Board at the United States Patent and Trademark Office continues to have over the industry, and particularly the influence the PTAB exerts over patent monetization and dealmaking. 

Joining me this week are Russell Binns, the CEO at Allied Security Trust, Bill Geary, the Chief Strategy Officer at IDEAHUB, and Jonathan Rogers, who is Chief Operating Officer for cybersecurity leader Centripetal. 

As you hear the conversation unfold we discuss that deals are still getting done and although the value of the deals currently being consummated has not increased in 2025 compared with the last several years, the number of deals being done has dramatically increased, which could very well be the first sign of a bounce in the patent marketplace on the horizon.
