This document summarizes trends in the secondary patent market from 2011 to 2018 based on data from Richardson Oliver. It finds that while brokers may feel the market is getting worse, the data shows sales volumes and prices have remained strong or increased. Specifically, it notes that $12.5 billion worth of patent packages were sold involving over 110,000 patent assets across 119 technology categories. The average asking price for a patent in 2017 was $252,367, with prices stabilizing after earlier increases. Several caveats are noted but overall the data indicates the patent market remains sizable and robust.
