Abstract
Every day high-tech companies receive offers for "strategic patenting" and "patent mapping" services and "comprehensive patent analysis platforms." What exactly are these things? The idea is simple. Instead of handling patent problems ad hoc, you devise a strategic plan-that is, one that establishes priorities so that you can jettison patents and filings not worth pursuing and defend yourself against the patents of others. You consider all the associated profits and losses comprehensively, as you would with finance or real estate.
