Patent porfolio

A patent portfolio refers to all the patents held by a company, individual, or organization. This portfolio may include patents obtained by the person or company itself, as well as patents acquired or licensed from third parties.

Companies use this portfolio to protect their inventions, to prevent competitors from exploiting them, and to generate income by granting licenses to third parties.

The effective management of a patent portfolio requires expertise in intellectual property and a thorough understanding of the company's needs in terms of protection, licensing and monetization of intellectual property.
