No one has a crystal ball to predict ultimate success, but with IPstreet.com, you can "demystify" the complex data and landscape IP so you can make better business decisions. Identifying potential revenue streams is important in your ultimate choice of GO/NO GO in regards to secure patent protection for your invention. To be pursued wisely, a patent is going to cost a minimum of $10K. IPStreet.com's patent search tools are designed for inventors, intellectual property strategists, investors and IP counselors.

Building such a fortress around the invention makes it difficult for others to use the invention without getting a license. Depending on the policy of the organization and the type of the invention, the organization can then grant either exclusive or nonexclusive licenses to use the product. There are several ways to protect IP, but one should always remember that protecting IP is expensive. Therefore, an organization needs to think carefully about its competitors, likely infringers, and the geographical area where the invention is to be marketed. Sometimes keeping an invention as a trade secret might be the cheapest way to protect it. Sometimes patenting, even if more expensive, might give better protection. Finding the best way to build and protect an IP portfolio requires imagination, in addition to a thorough knowledge of the company and its product lines. A comprehensive IP portfolio can be of substantial value to both private and public sector entities. For both sectors, patents are a key element of an IP portfolio. Large companies can afford an offensive patent strategy, but small companies may not have the necessary resources for this. Therefore, especially for small- and middle-sized companies, proper planning and parallel thinking is required to develop an effective and cost efficient strategy.
