The apud model is a qualitative valuation approach that systematically captures the characteristics that determine a patent&#8217;s worth. Once you know these factors, you can influence them deliberately and thereby increase the value of your portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the apud model?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The apud model was developed by the Patent Law Working Group at the University of D\u00fcsseldorf (in German: <em>Arbeitskreis Patentrecht an der Universit\u00e4t D\u00fcsseldorf<\/em>, abbreviated \u201capud\u201d) and has been discussed in practice since the mid-2000s. It is a <em>qualitative<\/em> valuation model: unlike purely monetary methods (the cost, market or income approach), it is not primarily aimed at a sum of money but at a transparent assessment of a patent&#8217;s technological, legal and strategic quality. In the terminology of patent valuation, it is therefore concerned less with \u201cvaluation\u201d (determining a monetary figure) than with \u201cevaluation\u201d (assessing quality).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The underlying idea is to place a patent&#8217;s <strong>value determinants<\/strong> in a methodologically sound relationship with its <strong>economic effect<\/strong>, and to make the result transparent through a points system. The model was deliberately designed to be flexible and manageable for small and medium-sized enterprises as well. It does not claim to be the only valid approach, but offers a structured route that discloses the relevant criteria \u2013 especially where forecasts (for example as to market development) come into play. For a monetary valuation building on this, a standardised method (such as the German standard DIN 77100) can be used in addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The model&#8217;s valuation factors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The apud model looks at two levels: the legal and technical substance of the right, and its economic effect in the product market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.franke-ip.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/grafik-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"839\" height=\"607\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.franke-ip.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/grafik-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.franke-ip.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/grafik-2.png 839w, https:\/\/blog.franke-ip.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/grafik-2-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.franke-ip.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/grafik-2-768x556.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Legal and technical value determinants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the core are four value determinants, which together describe the strength and robustness of the right:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Novelty<\/strong> \u2013 how clearly does the protected teaching stand apart from the prior art?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inventive step<\/strong> \u2013 how far does the inventive contribution go beyond what was obvious to the skilled person?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scope of protection<\/strong> \u2013 how broad and, at the same time, how robust is the scope defined by the claims?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Difficulty of circumvention<\/strong> \u2013 how hard is the patent to design around?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a patent that has already been granted, practical assessment aspects are added \u2013 in particular the <strong>scope of protection<\/strong>, the <strong>enforceability against infringers<\/strong> (whether infringement can actually be established), the <strong>validity<\/strong> in the face of attack (opposition \/ nullity), and the remaining <strong>term<\/strong>. In the model&#8217;s points system these legal aspects feed into the overall assessment up to a defined maximum; what matters is less the exact numerical value than the structured, comparable way of capturing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Economic patent effect (product market)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A legally strong patent is only valuable if it has an effect on a relevant market. The model therefore brings in the economic dimension: the patent&#8217;s connection to specific products, the size and growth of the market addressed, the competitive advantage or exclusionary effect, and the fit with the company&#8217;s strategy (for example own use, licensing or sale). It would be a mistake to equate patent valuation with product valuation \u2013 a patent always takes effect only through the section of the product that its claims delimit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to increase portfolio value through the apud factors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The practical benefit of the model is that every factor is a lever. By paying attention to these factors as early as drafting, prosecution and portfolio management, you systematically raise the quality \u2013 and thus the value \u2013 of your rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Secure novelty and inventive step<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both determinants largely govern validity. You strengthen them through a careful prior-art search before filing, through strict preservation of novelty (no premature disclosure, non-disclosure agreements), and through an application that clearly works out the inventive core and supports it with technical effects. The more robust the novelty and inventive step, the lower the risk of a successful attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make the scope of protection broad and robust<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aim for the broadest possible main claim that is still covered by the prior art, and secure it with a well-considered claim hierarchy providing fall-back positions (dependent claims). Use the various claim categories (product, process, use) and \u2013 where sensible \u2013 divisional applications to cover variants and downstream commercialisation stages. A broad yet defensible scope increases value far more than a claim narrowly tailored to a single embodiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Increase the difficulty of circumvention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protect the underlying technical principle, not just one specific implementation. Cover obvious workarounds through additional claims or accompanying applications, and build a \u201cpatent thicket\u201d (a portfolio of coordinated rights) around key technologies. The more expensive and unattractive a design-around becomes for competitors, the higher the economic value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ensure enforceability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A patent is only worth as much as it can be enforced. Draft claims so that infringement is detectable and provable on the market \u2013 features that occur only inside a third party&#8217;s manufacturing process are hard to prove. Focus on perceptible features that can ideally be established on the end product, and document use and infringement situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintain validity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensure a clean prosecution file, robust fall-back positions in the description, and \u2013 for particularly important rights \u2013 validity and infringement opinions. Actively monitor opposition and nullity risks; a successfully defended patent gains value, while a vulnerable one loses it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manage term and economic effect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take the remaining term into account in every decision on maintenance or abandonment, and check where supplementary protection certificates (SPCs) allow an extension. Above all, align your portfolio with the products and markets that actually matter. Rights with no product or market connection tie up fees without creating value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From the single patent to a managed portfolio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real lever lies in the regular, criteria-based assessment of the entire stock. Score and rank your rights periodically against the apud factors. This yields concrete measures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Build on strengths:<\/strong> invest deliberately in highly rated rights (divisional applications, foreign extension, accompanying filings).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clear out weaknesses:<\/strong> abandon low-rated rights with no market or enforcement value and thereby save maintenance fees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Close gaps:<\/strong> file where strategically important products are still unprotected or where workarounds remain open.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Communicate value:<\/strong> present the structured assessment transparently to investors, buyers or licensees \u2013 a comprehensible scoring grid increases the credibility of the value claimed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The apud model ties a patent&#8217;s value to comprehensible factors: novelty, inventive step, scope of protection and difficulty of circumvention on the legal and technical side, complemented by enforceability, validity and term as well as the economic effect in the product market. Those who consider these factors from the moment of filing and assess their portfolio against them regularly raise not only the quality of the individual rights but also the demonstrable value of the entire stock. We would be glad to support you in the qualitative assessment and strategic alignment of your patent portfolio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patents often make up a substantial part of a company&#8217;s intangible value \u2013 yet that value cannot be captured in a single figure.
