This section also includes an analysis of the patent portfolios of three high-tech companies, reviewed by quality, by geographic balance, and by balance over time. Each case study or portfolio analysis concludes with a short and pointed list of “Lessons Learned”. •Third, a summary in an easy-to-understand Question & Answer format organized by main topic, followed by a Glossary of more than eighty terms used in patent analysis.TRUE PATENT VALUE is intended for four groups of readers: (1) Entrepreneurs and engineers who until now had no way of judging how good their patents are; (2) Patent attorneys and agents looking for a concentration of live cases where specific drafting created (or failed to create) valuable patents;(3) Corporate executives, corporate Board members, and patent brokers, contemplating the purchase or sale of patent portfolios;(4) Investment advisors, equity analysts, and investment bankers working with high-tech companies, who need to understand whether a patent portfolio truly adds value.
