Certified Patent Valuation
In addition to his work as a patent attorney, Matthew Patterson is a Certified Patent Valuation Analyst. He implements a step-by-step process, evaluating your company’s individual patents and your portfolio as a whole.
Attorney Patterson accomplishes this by taking the time to know and understand your business and your patents. Ultimately, he uses your information to generate a portfolio value that’s context-specific to your company.
Portfolio valuation is a complex process. In analyzing the values of these intangible assets, we consider multiple issues:
- Value depends on how your patent fits your product.
- A patent can be worth more to a start-up than to an established company.
- For a company with international patents, U.S. patents often comprise 70% of its portfolio’s value.
- Due to strong legal protections, a patent has an inherently greater value when filed in the United States than in other countries/regions.
- Analysts can employ 70 plus methods for assessing a portfolio’s value. We select the method that fits your purpose.

Why Does Your Company Need Portfolio Valuation?
When you operate a business, you always need to know where you stand financially. Digital information makes it easy to track your income and expenses. Your accountant evaluates most of your business assets using cost, depreciation, and life expectancy data. With patents, the valuation process is far more complex. A certified patent valuation analyst validates your patents as valuable business assets that support your business goals.
Loan Collateralization
When you need to raise capital, some financial institutions accept patents as loan collateral. You must assign your patents to the bank, but you don’t have to depend on a banking professional to determine their value. A certified patent valuation analyst can provide a strategic assessment. The valuation process can increase your collateral value and improve your chances for a higher loan.
Venture Capital Support
Even if you’re a start-up, investors still want a return on their investments. A patent valuation demonstrates that your company has verifiable assets. It lets investors know that they can recover some of their investment even if your company fails.
Patent Licensing
If you choose to license your patent to other companies, you need a value to determine your licensing fees.
Selling Your Company
If someone wants to acquire your company, your patents are assets that help determine its market value. Our due diligence helps determine the status of your patents. Valuation shows how they increase your company’s value.
