Andy Gibbs, PatentCafe’s CEO notes that “intellectual
property accounts for more than 70 percent of the market
cap of the Fortune 500, and nearly 90% of NASDAQ-listed
companies. Whether investing in a Fortnue 100 companies,
or early stage technology start ups, the understanding
of trends of companies and industries is vital to intelligent
decision-making.” As a result of new patent laws
enacted in 2001, the US Patent and Trademark Office publishes
all patent applications 18 months after they are filed,
whether the issues, or not. The indices Reports cover
10 years trends of issued US patents, and more importantly,
current 52-week trends on published applications.
This early publication of patent applications gives investors
clear insight as to the most active technology nline or
product areas where patents are being filed, allowing
technology investors onlne and early stage technology
companies to assess the potential risks of investing in
R&D to create yet another entry in what will soon
be a crowded patent field.

areas may provide clues to future patent infringement
litigation potential.
