Patents are granted irrespective if they have value or not
Many patents have no value either because the inventions are worthless or because the patent is legally handicapped even though it has business value. Securing valuable patents need not require more effort or cost than obtaining invaluable ones. Prepare for building a valuable patent portfolio starting from filing an application, during prosecution as well as after the patent issues. By applying best practices consistently across a portfolio, owners can create valuable patents and patent portfolios.
