PATENT MARKET INDEX (PMI®)

The PMI was created by Global Technology Transfer Group

Now more than ever patents play a critical role in companies increasing and defending their revenue streams. The worth of patents to companies has resulted in thousands of transfers of patents from company to company with values ranging from 6 figures to 9 and 10 figure deals for each transaction. For two decades GTT Group has brought transparency to this otherwise opaque market with the Patent Market Index (PMI®). The index records secondary patent transactions and large patent transactions (a transfer of more than 100 IP assets) each day. Each category is an activity measure for patents. These categories are then weighted to create the PMI level which indicates the patent activity level for the day. The Daily PMI is the next evolution of the PMI which traditionally has measured patent marketplace activity on a quarterly basis. The PMI gives a daily moving average of the PMI further adding transparency to the industry. The PMI is the benchmark or bellweather index for the patent transaction market.
