The major part of a company's value today - on average over 84% - today consists of intangible assets. Patents are among the "most tangibles among the intangibles": You can, for example, encumber them, sell them, license them. Companies use them to protect innovations from imitation and as a strategic tool to keep competitors out of the market or to ensure a strategic balance of power.

Accordingly, patents also allow a deep insight into the R&D activities of the company and reveal a lot about the planned future and potential capabilities. However, this requires a quality measurement or, even better, a value determination in order to obtain reliable information. The sustainability efforts of companies can also be supported, proven or questioned with patent value analyses.
