possibly, doesn't seem to be exactly like I remember but is quite possibly my memory fail. Although it's not clear in your comment where the market value comes from (e.g. is it essentially the government is the market maker? that seems like a bad idea as central authority is unlikely to understand and price everything correctly). What stops people from understating the patent value?
EDIT - I guess main point is - is the patent value declared by owner and does the value affect ability to litigate?
- 3JPLW 14y agoI'm sure it wouldn't be unlike assessors for home value property tax. A bit trickier, but I'm sure it's doable.
- a-priori 14y agoOne way you may be able to do it is to make patents always available for sale at their declared value. By declaring a patent's value, anyone (including the government itself) can offer to buy it from you for that amount of money. You must then either accept the offer, or block the sale by increasing its value beyond what the other party is willing to pay.
