INVENTOR: »Can I make money on my ideas?«
Licensing and sale
Through patenting, ideas and inventions are turned into convertible and potentially value-creating assets, but it is also possible to invest in patents by purchasing existing rights. Licensing and sale are some of the ways in which patents may contribute to the generation of real value.
Licensing may take various forms, but in its simplest form it means the sale or purchase of the right to use patented technology. On the other hand, in the case of selling and buying patent rights, it is the actual patented technology which is traded, and the seller thus surrenders the right to the underlying patent to the buyer.
