“We would like you to find the best patents in this pile of 50,000 candidates. Oh, and we need it done for $30K.” We hear requests like this so often we’ve built processes and tools to help us address them. Our team has over 60 years of experience developing, evaluating, monetizing, litigating, and licensing patents; we’d like to share some of our experience and methodology with you.
