Patents provide owners with monopoly right to exclude. This provides an artificial barrier to competition. How that barrier is constructed and maintained greatly defines a company's ability to protect its market share. This talk will explore the steps that companies must take in order to develop a strategic patent portfolio and the benefits derived from such, including increased market revenue and share, increased brand recognition, and the potential for licensing revenue.
