<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLastly, businesses may make mistakes while structuring a pitch deck for their patent or patent portfolio while selling or licensing it. In simple terms, a patent pitch deck is a PowerPoint deck describing the patents available for sale\/license along with market and seller\/licensor information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As several IP-intensive companies have hundreds of patents in their patent portfolio, a common mistake made by them is that they often club 70 to 80 patents into a single pitch deck. This not only reduces the per-patent price of each asset within that pitch deck, but also the appeal of the entire pitch deck from a buyer\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An effective way to structure a pitch deck is to accommodate 20 to 30 patents within a single deck. Moreover, there should be a combination of deal drivers as well as enabler patents within the pitch deck. To get a much better per-patent valuation, it is advisable to have a proportionate mix of primary patents that act as deal drivers and as supportive enabler patents. The latter enhances the technological features of either deal drivers or technologies relevant for the buyer or licensee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similarly, enabler patents help the licensee or buyer to enhance their patent portfolio value. They are not directly infringed by products in the market but they enhance the value of the prevailing technology. So, create a pitch by putting potential enabler patents along with deal drivers in the pitch deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
