Patents are more than just legal forms for lawyers to fill out or clubs to use in infringement lawsuits. They can also provide value by persuading your would-be competitors to pursue other opportunities, or a vendor to switch suppliers. Patents can also bring in money through licensing, patent pools, and attracting investors.
