Commercialization

Commercialization of a patent owner’s rights encompasses licensing and many other means for generating revenue from the patent asset. 

Direct Manufacturing. Another means by which an individual inventor may profit from his invention is to take it directly to the market in the same manner that small and large businesses do.  In today’s age of fast global communications and the low cost of early manufacturing, an individual should investigate obtaining product samples or small inventories, often through international manufacturers.  Dale has a host of connections with which he helps inventors obtain prototypes, product samples, and product inventories along with starting websites to sell directly to the consuming public.  With Ream Law, the individual inventor is not alone in navigating the development highway.

Patent Purchase.  Sometimes a patent may be purchased outright because it is so similar to a new product being readied for market by another company.  Dale has brokered the outright sale of a client’s patent when neither licensing nor direct manufacturing was possible.   In each instance, the patent sale was pursued after other avenues of commercialization undertaken by the inventor had proven unsuccessful.

Patent Monetization.  In recent times, patents are being increasing monetized by being purchased by entities who create large patent portfolios in order to bring new innovations to market that may otherwise infringe one or more patents.  Dale is on the cutting edge of this rising phenomenon and continues to increase his networking connections in this area for his clients benefit.
