Do you want to hear about how to make money selling patents? Here is your complete guide! (More FREE resources below...)⏬

Registered USPTO patent attorney, J.D. Houvener from Bold Patents Law Firm, share's how to sell your patent!

Below we have provided resources and timestamps with brief explanations for each step of how to sell your patent.

Quickly find what you are looking for by clicking on the timestamps below.

Timestamps for important areas of this video are located below along with a detailed blog article that I wrote that goes into this topic even more in-depth.

➡️ 0:34 STEP 1: Identification of the Parties

✔️ When you are looking to negotiate a sale of a patent you have to know who you're dealing with.
✔️ A company has many moving parts, and you are going to want to know who has the right to make, use, sell, or import the invention.
✔️ It's important to consider the party's intentions. Your contract has to clarify who is giving up what.

➡️ 1:55 What rights do you have once you acquire the patent?

✔️ In the contract, you want to specify "Look at exhibit A" with the Patent Publication Number
✔️ Each party needs to inspect and confirm the scopes of the claims that you specified in your agreement.
✔️ The following are the scopes of the claims: patent publication number, serial numbers, and dates that are associated with the conveyance
✔️ The actual rights are not going to be listed in the contract at all.

➡️ 2:55 STEP 2: Purchase

✔️ Prior or existing licenses might exist from Party A [seller]. That needs to be checked and cleared with Party B [buyer].
✔️ If party B is going to be a non-exclusive licensee that needs to be cleared upfront. That means they are not going to be the only one that gets to make use or sell the invention.

➡️ 4:14 STEP 3: Price

✔️ Patents can be sold in terms of a lump sum, (received upfront) and received over time.
✔️ Contingency payments are when you receive money via royalty if and when a product is sold.
✔️ If it's about the revenue you have to be more specific; I.e. gross revenue, or net revenue.
✔️ Gross revenue is easy to calculate, net is more specific.

➡️ 5:29 STEP 4: Recordation at USPTO

✔️ Recording the assignment helps to publish the information that that any other competitor that may need to look at this later in litigation can have the record preserved.
✔️ It's also useful for making sure that deals get done and its a clear and transparent transaction.

✔️That invention moves forward as the non-provisional patent application.
✔️For the inventions that are not moving forward, you can file what is called a divisional application.

➡️ 3:44 Each Divisional Has a Life of its Own,

✔️ Divisional Applications are also called parent applications
✔️Continuation applications, also known as children applications are other versions of the invention.

➡️4:52 Advantages of Divisionals

✔️You have the ability to file them later as you only have to file once they get issued, which make take 1-3 year.s
✔️If your invention ends up being 3 other inventions, a good strategy is to wait and not spend more money.
✔️During that waiting period, you can get beta testers to give you feedback on your inventions to see if they are worth pursuing.

Below we have provided resources and timestamps with brief explanations for each step of how to file a design patent application.

✔️ Do a worldwide patentability search. (Link below)
✔️ You have a one year grace period to file a patent application for an invention before your rights are completely gone, if you start selling it on the market.

✔️ You want to determine the eligibility of your idea. Is it patentable? You got to be able to show if there is an inventive step, something truly novel about your invention.

➡️ 4:35 Patentability search consists of two main aspects.
✔️Patent documents are patents that have been filed for and published
✔️Non-patent literature, do a natural language search to see if there is someone similar to your idea.

➡️7:24 Patent office actions
✔️When your patent gets submitted to the patent office, the examiner will do their own search and confirm or deny the search that was done before that ensures the patent is original.

➡️8:01 Monetization
Seek to enforce your patent rights.
Licensing the rights to your patent to other companies to sell.
