Why Protecting Technology is Essential
Protecting your technology is essential for securing exclusive rights to your innovations, enabling you to capitalize on your ideas and maintain a competitive edge. Here are some of the key reasons why patent protection is critical in technology-driven industries:
​
-
Exclusive Market Rights: US Patents grant you the right to exclude others from making, using and selling your invention. This right to exclude others prevents competitors from entering the market with your patented innovation, protecting your market share and profitability.
-
Increased Business Valuation: Patents directly and indirectly enhance a company’s financial and strategic value by fostering innovation, generating revenue, protecting market position, and attracting investments. The extent of value depends on how effectively the company utilizes its patents within its business model.
-
Deterrence Against Infringement: A patent portfolio that is strategically aligned with your long term business objectives can deter your competitors from taking action against you. Indeed, such a patent portfolio can also deter competitors from using or copying your innovations without authorization.
-
Licensing and Revenue Generation: Patents offer revenue opportunities through licensing agreements, allowing you to monetize your technology while maintaining control over its use. Licensing can be particularly beneficial for companies that want to expand their reach without directly expending research and development dollars to develop products in order to enter new markets.
-
Strengthened Competitive Advantage: In technology-driven sectors, patents play a critical role in maintaining a competitive edge. By building a patent portfolio that is strategically aligned with your long-term business needs, you establish your position as a leader in your industry, making it more difficult for competitors to challenge your innovations.
