1h ago· 3 min readenInsight

Summary

This article argues that a patent alone is not valuable without a strategic plan to leverage it. Using the example of FDM 3D printing patented by Stratasys in 1989, it illustrates how even a well-designed patent can be worthless if not actively utilized. The piece is part of a series by patent attorney Marco Coolen offering insights into intellectual property strategy.
