Evaluating a Patent for use within your New Product
| May 2, 2008 |  View for printing |
When you are designing a product and have some patented components or processes, which you don't own, and you wish to include (embed) them within your product, how do you go about evaluating these patents to make sure they will add expected and real value to your product?
A practical flow-chart presented herein outlines a process that will help you evaluate whether a patented component or process can be appropriately functional, useful and cost-effective when embedded within your product or its associated development processes. Note, though, that this evaluation process should not be confused with what is commonly called Patent Valuation 1, which refers to estimating the asset value of a patented item by itself.
