Google Corporation in search of patents that may be useful to business, decided to open an experimental site: from 8 to 22 May 2015, everyone will be able to offer their patents and price for them. By the end of June, Google will choose the right ones and pay for them by August.
In a Google blog, the head of the patent department, Allen Law,
writes about the main reasons for the sale of patents - this is money and a change in business direction.
The patent market is sometimes too complicated, especially for small participants: an attempt to reach it can end in a long battle with patent trolls in the courts, spoiled karma and time spent: about 60% of all patent cases against patents are patent trolls.
Google offers a
platform for the sale of company
patents . Allen Law promises that the process will be as simple and fast as possible: first, the applications will be collected, then the company will contact and redeem the owners of the required patents. The money will be transferred in August.
