Subjective
Two analysts value the same asset and land three times apart. Nothing in the process forces them to agree, and nothing explains the gap.
Patent Valuation Platform
P29
A defensible price for any patent.
Valuation for the masses — same Meridian scale, any patent, any stage, any portfolio size. One platform, several valuation models, one common scale. P29 is the first model on the platform: a deterministic scoring rubric coupled to a probabilistic income model, so every valuation is repeatable, auditable and comparable across an entire portfolio.
The problem
Patent value is still an opinion, not a measurement
Unauditable
A single point number arrives with no visible chain from evidence to price. Buyers, boards and auditors cannot challenge what they cannot see.
Unscalable
Bespoke analysis costs weeks per patent. A university sitting on 500 assets can never afford to know which twenty are worth pursuing.
The result: one of the world's largest asset classes still trades without an accepted pricing standard.
How P29 works
Two coupled layers, one engine
Layer 1
The scoring layer
- Observable facts are read from the patent, its prosecution chain, its market and its owner.
- A frozen rubric converts those facts into 29 parameter scores across 6 weighted dimensions.
- Output: a composite score from 0 to 100. The same facts always produce the same score.
Layer 2
The money layer
- The score sets the inputs to a relief-from-royalty income calculation.
- A correlated Monte Carlo runs royalty rate, market size, growth and discount rate together.
- Output: a P10 to P90 fair-market-value band, never a bare number.
The two layers cross-check each other. A weak score paired with a large valuation is flagged, not shipped.
P29 | the scoring layer
Six dimensions. Twenty-nine parameters. One scale.
Every patent, in any technology field, at any stage of life, is scored on the same axes with the same weights. Analysts supply evidence; the rubric assigns the score. No parameter is ever scored by hand — which is what makes two valuations comparable and an audit trail possible.
P29 | the money layer
We ship a band, not a bet
Four inputs are simulated together, not independently, so correlations between market growth, royalty rate and risk are preserved. Binary legal and commercial risks are carried separately as explicit rNPV branches.
Royalty rate
Addressable market size
Market growth rate
Risk-adjusted discount rate
Why it holds up
Built to survive the other side's analyst
Frozen methodology
Weights, bands and benchmarks live in one version-stamped file. Every report records the version it was run under.
Confidence Index
A 0 to 100 grade on the data behind the number. A thin-evidence valuation is labelled a screening figure, not a price.
Driver attribution
A waterfall assigns the value to six to eight named drivers and reconciles exactly, with any residual stated openly.
Cross-check gate
Score against dollars. Mismatches are flagged and explained before anything reaches a client.
Where it sells
One engine, four buyers
University tech transfer
Screen hundreds of assets, find the twenty worth licensing, and defend the ask to a corporate counterparty.
Litigation finance
Price the asset behind a claim before capital is committed, on the same scale across a whole pipeline.
Corporate IP and M&A
Value portfolios for acquisition, divestiture, impairment testing and transfer pricing.
IP-backed finance
Give lenders and insurers a collateral value with a stated confidence band.
P29 runs a single asset or a thousand-patent portfolio. It is field agnostic and scale invariant — which is what turns a service into a product, and what lets further models sit beside it on the same platform.
Whoever sets the standard for pricing patents owns the data that follows.
P29 is already running client engagements today. Capital accelerates the platform around it, the shared benchmark database, and the sales motion that turns a proven methodology into recurring revenue.
