Every growth-stage company will experience rapid patent portfolio growth, indicating company expansion and investment in R&D. However, caution is necessary to avoid "portfolio inflation," which can dilute value and lead to inefficiencies.
Patent portfolio inflation occurs when a company's patent count rises disproportionately compared to the actual value or innovation of the patents. This can create confusion and a false sense of security regarding the company’s competitive edge.
It's crucial for companies to monitor their patent portfolios diligently. Without proper management, inflating the portfolio with low-value patents can obscure genuine innovations and lead to ineffective legal defenses.
The eBook by Tradespace offers critical strategies for managing patent portfolios wisely: understanding portfolio inflation, its causes, impacts, and actionable tips to maintain the integrity and efficacy of patent investments.
