Today,
Individuals or Companies are granted patents for their innovations filed (or “CLAIMED”?)
that are likely to be followed an Infringement law-suit filed by a Non-Practicing
Entity (NPE).
From
July-September 2013, 67% of the NPEs asserted all patents from the lot they
acquired.
Patent
Assertion has become a common trend which has been challenging the existing
patent law as well as the small businesses, particularly in U.S comparing to
Europe or any other parts of the world.
Did
You Know? NPE is 4x more likely than an operating company (OC) to assert a

acquiring it? What is the buying pattern of the NPE? Do NPE lots go unasserted?
To
decipher these questions, MaxVal has leveraged the power of its Reassignment and Litigation Databank. Download
