Portland, OR August 11, 2021 – Global Technology Transfer Group, Inc. (GTT Group), a world leader in strategic patent analysis and patent transaction services, released its Second Quarter 2021 Patent Transaction Market Report (PTMR) this morning. The report includes the Patent Market Index (PMI®) and the Patent Licensing Index (PLI®)

The second quarter PMI continued its growth trend, reaching a new four-year peak. Michael Lubitz, Managing Director & Founder of GTT Group comments: “Patent sales saw continued growth in the past quarter. This matches the fast growth environment where many companies hope to stake their claim in high value sectors including Battery Tech, AI, 5G, Blockchain and more. We are seeing larger deals where acquirers are building stores of valuable claim positions. Smaller deals remain high as well, as many look to fortify with a more targeted approach.”

The PMI or Patent Market Index increased by 2% percent to finish the quarter at 124.0, building on the growth of a historic previous quarter. Current levels remain significantly above PMI trading ranges from the past four years. Monitored secondary transaction volume decreased by 1.5% in the first quarter, remaining near the all time high seen last quarter.

The PLI or Patent Licensing Index grew by 2.6% in the second quarter. With this unmatched three-quarter stretch of growth, the PLI managed to match and slightly outperform the historic rebound on the S&P 500 for the past 12 months.
