Patent itself is useless, and is only useful in a powerful vehicle wherein said patent can help drive the movement.

University generates thousands of inventions and files hundreds of patents each year to protect its technical leadership and claim its exclusive rights in the field. These patents are important intellectual property assets of the university which may generate tremendous revenues by licensing to specific industry or boosting new startups in creating jobs and improving the economy.

Industries work with leading universities to initiate new research, define new technology and bring concepts into products, and so leading industries spend billions of dollars each year to fund critical researches and emerging discoveries in their specialized fields.

However, over sixty percent (60%) of issued patents do not generate any revenue for the inventors because it lacks a powerful vehicle to capitalize the invention and the discovery. Many valuable patents become abandoned due to being unable to maintain the patent costs.

To generate proper revenue out of the inventions, patents can be sold to the interested industries, licensed to the interested parties or leased to plaintiffs or defendants in specific lawsuits of patent infringement cases. In any way, patents must be in a powerful vehicle wherein said patents can help drive the movement.

Such powerful patent vehicle can be implemented in different strategies which require in-depth expertise in both patent laws and technology fields. Intellectual TREEs (iTREE®) has been developed by Prof. Willie W. Lu to consolidate the patents and plant the inventions into the iTREE®  security foundations.

iTREE® is an intellectual property security platform to empower your inventions (both pre-applications and post-issuance) into a very strong force to protect your intellectual properties. iTREE® platform is optimized for preventing patent invalidation, litigation and injunction from competitors.

By utilizing iTREE® platform, Prof. Lu will analyze some court cases which both parties are willing to lease the iTREE® property in both federal courts and district courts.
