Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?

5. Enterprise computing is headed for “massive changes”
• “We will see radical changes in
hardware technology this year (2010)
and SAP is more than prepared to take
advantage.”
• He cited the following components:
– super-large in-memory systems
– parallel computing
– on-demand software
– cloud computing
– mobile phones

6. Virtually free and unlimited:
bandwidth and storage
• Storage and bandwidth: are
improving performance and
cost efficiency even faster than
processor speed is .
• The marginal cost is falling to
practically zero.

9. Passage from "solid" to "liquid" modernity
• Social forms and institutions no longer have enough time to
solidify and cannot serve as frames of reference and
virtually no distinctions between what we do to live and what
we do to work.
• Individuals have to splice together an unending series of
short-term projects and episodes.
• In liquid modernity the individual (under conditions of
uncertainty) must:
– be flexible and adaptable
– be constantly ready and willing to change tactics at short notice
– abandon commitments and loyalties without regret to pursue
new opportunities

21. Commoditization and Interchangeable
• market based on undifferentiated products
• Commoditization usually leads to lower prices since
undifferentiated products produce perfect competition
• Some technology products are certainly becoming
interchangeable but what's really commoditizing?
• Not software, not hardware, not services, ONLY broadband
• False commoditization can create substantial risk when
premier products (substantial additional value to offer) are
more expensive .
don’t confuse
INTERCHANGABLE and COMMODITIZATION and then
STANDARIZATION
