[8]
Auctions
Ocean Tomo introduced the world's first public auctions of patents, trademarks and copyrights.[9] The auctions have also included business method patents,[10] and the rights to Jimi Hendrix's music recordings.
Intellectual Property Stock Index
Ocean Tomo has also pioneered the first stock index based on corporations whose overall market value is in large part due to the value of their patent portfolios. The index is called the "Ocean Tomo 300 Patent Index".[11] The index starts with the 1,000 most liquid securities on U.S. exchanges. Patent-owning companies in this group are divided into 50 style and size groups and ranked by patent value (divined by OT's proprietary PatentRatings® patent valuation system) divided by book value. The six highest ranking securities in each group are selected and weighted by market capitalization. The ranking system assumes that the patent's value is related to its owner's willingness to pay patent maintenance fees. The system reviews 53 factors in a patent document to estimate whether a patent would be renewed.[12][13] An ETF based on this index trades on AMEX.
