Got unwanted patents? Give them to those in need!
90-95% of all patents registered in the United States are idle, says Ron Sampson, secretary of the National Institute for Strategic Technology Acquisition and Commercialization. And if so, then companies could easily share unnecessary patents with those who may need them.
For example, Judy McKinney-Cherry, director of economic development for the state of Delaware, said that her state was actively buying unclaimed patent certificates and offering to buy them to citizens in order to stimulate economic development. There is even a special website where entrepreneurs can get acquainted with the proposed patents and purchase any of them. True, while there are few patents - only 105.
