These questions cover a wide range, believe it or not. It’s never so simple as simply knowing which patents the company holds, though many Boards leave even that much to the IP lawyers.  We started with the deep dive into research and development, with questions such as: [Read More](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/how-good-are-the-companys-patents) Categories: [Patent Benchmarks](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/topic/patent-benchmarks), [patent claims analysis](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/topic/patent-claims-analysis), [Boards of Directors](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/topic/boards-of-directors) [Comments (0) | Add a Comment](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/how-good-are-the-companys-patents#comments-listing) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Written by [Joseph Hadzima, Esq., Sr. Lecturer, MIT Sloan School of Management, President and Co-Founder of IPVision](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/author/joseph-hadzima-esq-sr-lecturer-mit-sloan-school-of-management-president-and-co-founder-of-ipvision) ## [Patent Portfolio Trafficking: IPVision’s Efficient and Comprehensive Patent Evaluation Method](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/patent-portfolio-trafficking-ipvisions-efficient-and-comprehensive-patent-evaluation-method) [![](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/hubfs/IPV%20Blog%20Images-51-1.png) ](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/patent-portfolio-trafficking-ipvisions-efficient-and-comprehensive-patent-evaluation-method) Active programs for selling patents—particularly in large businesses—weren’t really in use until recent years. This may have been due to lack of inventory control, in which case companies simply didn’t have a solid understanding of what they owned, or a lack of business management, in which case the company had no real understanding of the business applications possible with intellectual property.

We’ll let you know that up front because there are some things we can’t tell you. We can’t tell you the names of some of the characters in the story, like the Venture Capital Fund (we’ll just call him VC, okay?) and the Innovator.
