In this episode, we take a deep dive into the war games filled world of patent buying and selling. We are joined today by special guest host, Louis Carbonneau, Founder & CEO of Tangible IP.

His firm is the largest brokerage firm in the world and has transacted over 4,500 patents in the past decade.

在本期节目中，我们将深入了解充满战争游戏的专利买卖世界。今天，我们有特别嘉宾主持人、Tangible IP创始人兼首席执行官路易斯·卡博尼奥（Louis Carbonneau）参加。Carbonneau先生是公认的知识产权专家，在美国、加拿大和国际知识产权法律和商业的各个方面拥有近30年的专业经验。他的公司是世界上最大的经纪公司，在过去十年中交易了4500多项专利。

When we sat down with Louis, we hoped to be able to provide our listeners with a 101 style talk on the ins and outs of patent monetization. What we got was so much more and so very consistent with our mission of helping our audience see around corners and help their future selves. Louis begins with some excellent historical perspective and an overview of the state of the market, but really drives it all home with a plethora of forward-thinking strategies that make for more robust, defendable, assertable patents. Patents are a long game. The little things you do now can have tremendous impact over the next 15 or more years of your business journey and it’s vital that inventors and practitioners start keeping these strategies in mind, if they have any hope of crafting battle ready, commercial-grade patents. 

当我们与路易斯坐下来时，我们希望能够为听众提供一个101式的演讲，讲述专利货币化的来龙去脉。我们所得到的与我们的使命是一致的，我们的使命是帮助我们的观众看到周围的角落，帮助他们未来的自我。Louis从一些优秀的历史视角和对市场状况的概述开始，但通过大量的前瞻性战略，使其成为更强大、更具可辩护性、更具资产价值的专利。专利是一个漫长的游戏。在未来15年或更长的商业旅程中，你现在所做的小事可能会产生巨大的影响。如果发明家和实践者有希望创造出战备的商业级专利，那么他们就必须开始牢记这些策略。
