Abstract

Patents are the result of risky and costly R&D, and the developer will try to recover its costs (and earn a return) through the sale of products covered by the patent, licensing others to use the invention (often a product or process), or through its outright sale. Patents are registered for protection and are typically valued for litigation or licensing purposes. They can create scalable value, levered by debt, and serviced by intangible-driven incremental EBITDA and cash flows. Intangibles like patents are a vital component of cash-generating value and goodwill as an excess return. Operating leverage is enhanced by patent-driven scalability, with a positive impact on cash generation. Bottlenecks that limit the potential of patents’ value are critically examined, with some tips for their minimization.
