"...last August Google spent $12,500,000 on 17,000 patents."
That's $735.29 per patent - which I think speaks to the low average quality of the stuff they're buying.

- neurotech1 14y agoA patent attorney I know put the cost at $10,000 per non-provisional patent, just in fees and legal expenses. Unless its a fire sale, a companies individual patent is usually worth more than that, depending on the value of the underlying IP.
