In such cases, lack of litigation should be a ground for adding value.Minsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09130472982939883649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923005810906159036.post-83162777459936003932010-08-23T15:56:46.044+01:002010-08-23T15:56:46.044+01:00Is this a published case or published valuation th...Is this a published case or published valuation that can be accessed publicly? I would be curious to know the context in which the "discount" for lack of litigation was applied and who rendered the valuation. If this is a new trend, it may be more applicable to particular industries than others.<br />Maureen VeteranoUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16421124002519033019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923005810906159036.post-12723942444991285992010-08-20T23:27:25.748+01:002010-08-20T23:27:25.748+01:00Is there a practical difference between discountin...Is there a practical difference between discounting for lack of litigation and providing a premium for having survived litigation?<br /><br />Also, while a prior art search can be valuable in helping determine the potential invalidity of a patent (especially if it comes back with clearly anticipatory prior art) a search will rarely be as thorough a testing as litigation. Invalidity attacks in litigation tend to be both broader than a prior art search can address (ex. utility, ineq. conduct etc.) and more thorough.James Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409399188953903135noreply@blogger.com
