System and method for valuing patents
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method comprising the steps of:
- determining, using a first computer system, a first CF of a first patent;
wherein said determining comprises;
configuring said first computer system to solve an equation for CF, said equation for CF defining CF as a function of variables including a MED and patent data, wherein said patent data includes a measure of length of a claim;
storing, in a database associated with said first computer system, said MED and said patent data;
accessing, using said first computer system, said database to retrieve first patent data for said first patent and said MED to a processor of said first computer system;
solving said equation for CF for said first patent, using said first computer system and said first patent data for said first patent and said MED;
anddisplaying, using a second computer system, an indication for said first patent based based at least upon the value of said first CF.

Abstract
A computer system implementing a macro economic model based upon macroeconomic data and relative value characteristics data of patents that determines nominal values for (1) goods and services and (2) profits generated by sales that are covered by the rights of a patent, implements an income value theory to value the patent based upon the predicted values of profits or goods and services covered by the patent, determines patent terms from patent filing, publication, and issue dates, determines patent assignees from patent data, and uses the value of a company'"'"'s patents, the patent issuance data and term date data, to determine trends versus time in: the number of a company'"'"'s enforceable patents; the number of a company'"'"'s patents obtained; the nominal value of net earnings and of goods and services sold that are covered by the company'"'"'s patents; the nominal value of the sum of the company'"'"'s patents, and provides comparisons of those trends between companies, regions, and economic sectors, providing the results of the analysis to users of the computer system. The computer system employs a user database enabling a novel electronic accounting model enabling payment by affiliates, programmed securities trading, and accrediting of investors.
