Your patent portfolio reflects decades of painstaking research and millions of dollars of investment, not to mention the cost of filing for and maintaining the patent. It’s important to understand and take full advantage of every monetization opportunity to maximize your return on investment.
We’ve curated this two-program collection from the Best Practices for Monetizing Patents Virtual Summit to provide an inexpensive learning option focused on opportunities for generating more royalty income through Standard Essential Patents and patent pools.

Session Two: Patent Pools for Complementary IP
Session Leader: Dean Skandalis, Senior Vice President of Global Licensing and Compliance, MPEG LA
Patent pools are an agreement between two or more patent owners to license their patents to one another or to third parties. Often, patent pools are associated with complex technologies that require complementary patents in order to provide efficient technical solutions.
This 30-minute session will reveal how the creation of a patent pool can save patentees and licensees time and money while fully monetizing these valuable assets. Here is a look at the agenda:
- SEP and non-SEP pools
