A Practice Note discussing important issues for counsel to consider when using a qualitative approach instead of a quantitative approach to determine the value of a subset of key patents in a patent portfolio, especially in a licensing or sale situation. This Note covers steps in the approach including identifying the class of potentially infringing products or services and the associated markets, market players, and market limitations and considering claim construction and patent invalidity risks.
