Article I, Section 8, Clause 8, of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to grant patents to inventors. From there, it all becomes murky. What benefits can an individual inventor extract from a patent? How important is it for a company to build a patent portfolio? What should you do with the portfolio once you have it? Can you afford to enforce your patents? When should you be scared of other people suing you over patents? After 40+ years in the patent game as an inventor, an expert witness, and a corporate executive responsible for patent strategy, I will give you a big picture view of the economics of the patent industry and discuss some of the opportunities and pitfalls.
