Patents can cost tens of thousands of dollars to acquire; patent litigation can cost millions of dollars; and patent licensing could earn companies hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Over half a billion dollars a year is spent on patent applications, and licensing revenues are in the tens of billions of dollars. In many cases, the economics of patenting is a more important consideration than the legal aspects. We have prepared a table of patent infringement monetary awards and patent license fees.
