The rise of intangible assets in size and contribution to corporate growth over the past quarter century was accompanied by a steep increase in the rate and scope of patenting. Consequently, many patent-rich companies, particularly in the science-based and high-tech industries, are extensively engaged in the licensing and sale of patents. We examine various valuation and disclosure aspects of the outcome of patent licensing—royalty income. Our findings indicate the following: (1) royalty income is highly relevant to securities valuation, (2) the intensity of royalty income provides investors with an important signal about the quality and prospects of firms' R&D expenditures, and (3) a substantial number of companies engaged in patent licensing do not disclose royalty income in financial reports.

Electric vehicle cell industry is an emerging area with fierce competition on technical innovation, in which the patent holder can choose different innovation diffusion options to maximize the return; however, the strategy is unclear in certain scenarios. We tried to explain the question of how to maximize the patent holder’s return by appropriate patent license strategy to promote EV cell innovation diffusion, when competition and patent licensing relationship exist in the supply chain. A multistage and multichannel diffusion model of EV cell comprising the patent holder, EV cell producer and EV producers is developed; the evolutionary game is analyzed considering the competition among same stage players and patent licensing relationship among different stage players; and an optimization algorithm is introduced to find the maximum weighted object function of the patent holder. We established the multistage and multichannel diffusion model and found a nonlinear complex relationship between patent holder object function and the key factors including patent royalty pricing and innovation advantage coefficient; in addition, an optimization algorithm is developed based on adopters’ decision-making related with competition and patent licensing.

Whether it’s mobile phones or autonomous cars or telemedicine, a well-functioning robust 5G ecosystem will require licensing executives to have a deep understanding of the need for timely licensing to support technology development and adoption. It is important that the parties to patent licensing agreements understand that value doesn’t depend on the numerosity of patent portfolios, but on use value. The ecosystem is impaired when parties to licensing transactions are recalcitrant and advance bogus indicia of value. The 5G stakes are sufficiently high that top management oversight is likely required.

Inventive and patent licensing work is an integral part of the activities of engineering, technical and scientific workers in all spheres of the economy. Invention is creation of technological (technical) solution that meets the conditions of patentability (novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability). Such solutions may, in particular, be inventions or utility models. Therefore, the processing of applications, in particular its component, which are the claim of invention and the utility mode formulal, is an urgent task when preparing the application materials for obtaining the security document - patent. The object of the study in this article was the preparation, the sequence of presentation, taking into account the structure of the interrelated elements and parts of the formula, as a component of an application for an invention or utility model. The purpose of the work was to fully and comprehensively investigate the proper execution of the claim of invention and the utility model as an integral part of the application, and one that defines the scope of legal protection. The task of the work was: to consider the creativity and inventive activity of man as a form of self-realization; analyze the properties of the invention and utility model as objects of legal protection; investigate the features of the claim of invention and utility models. The research methodology was based on the method of materialistic dialectics, methods of analysis and synthesis of both information from official sources and information from the works of other researchers. The scientific work considers the peculiarities of execution of the claim of invention or utility model as an integral part of the application, which is submitted to the state enterprise "Ukrainian Institute of Intellectual Property" for a patent. The purpose of the claim of invention and its requirements have been analyzed. Thus, the features of the invention (utility model) in the claim of invention (utility model) are laid out in such a way as to enable them to be identified, that is, a clear understanding of their content by a person skilled in the art. The composition of the claim containing limiting, separating and distinguishing parts has been analyzed. The features of the content of the application for the invention of "device", "method" and "new application of a known product or process" are considered.
