A market for lapsing patents? It's Market2IP

Attending this year's International Trademark Association (INTA) Meeting in San Diego, I met Mark Simon, one of the people behind a new business, Market2IP -- a.k.a Market Square IP -- of which Mark is CEO.  Market2IP describes itself as a specialized patent monetization company which assists patent owners in maximising the monetary worth of their patent portfolios. That's nothing new, but the company has an interesting slant: it specialises in

"creating a market place for patent files (both pending and granted) that have been “slated to be abandoned” by their owners".

The monetisation of both applications and granted rights that are heading for oblivion is an interesting proposition: the fact that an application is about to be dropped or a patent not renewed is not necessarily a reflection on its inherent validity, commercial utility or anything else, but its strategic value to a purchaser, either as a stand-alone or more probably as part of a portfolio of patents, may be substantial. Inevitably the development of a market for such patents as a separate subclass will depend on the cooperation of patent attorney firms and in-house legal teams, since the fact that a decision has been made not to pursue an application, or to allow a granted patent to lapse, is not publicly available.  This blog will watch developments with interest and will be happy to relate any readers' experiences of trading with lapsing patents and patent applications.
