U.S. Patent Reform Could Become Economic Suicide: How to profit from this little-known legislation

Technology has always been the foundation of the most successful economies. We can all cite the effects that technologies such as the printing press, the steam engine, and the silicon chip have had on economies, and on Human well-being in general. Somebody invented these technologies, and somebody implemented and profited from them. The former and the latter were rarely the same individuals. Inventors NEED to protect and control the use of their inventions in order to profit from their labour, investment, and genius. In America, and in Europe, this has been accomplished by the Patent System’s granting of legal ownership over ideas, and enforcement by litigation in court if necessary.

In September, 2012 the America Invents Act (AIA), despite its name, was enacted in an effort to control patent litigation which the big product manufacturers, such as Apple, want to avoid. They don’t want to pay for the use of the patents, and they don’t want to be sued either. The AIA makes suing for patent infringement much more difficult in very broad and indiscriminate ways. This puts inventors of technology in an untenable situation; why invest in R&D if you cannot protect and profit from your invention?

Non-Producing Entities (NPE) are companies with expertise in the field of patent licensing and litigation, who either partner with or buy-outright the intellectual property of small patent holders, and then go after the infringing manufacturers in court. They are “white knights” fighting on the side of small entrepreneurs and intellectual property start-ups. Over the last three or four years, however, America’s proposed Patent Reform legislation has severely reduced the stock price of NPEs

At ANG Traders (www.angtraders.com) we don’t believe that the U.S. will use Patent Reform to commit economic suicide by discouraging R&D. For this reason, we think that the government's Patent Reform Legislation will, in the end, be changed so as not to harm NPEs as much as the market has already priced in.

We at ANG Traders have developed a proprietary Price Modelling System by combining 35 years of successful Private Equity investing experience with youthful computer science. Our analysis has registered a bullish signal on several NPEs, one of which is Wilan (WILN on Nasdaq, WIN on Toronto), an NPE with ownership/control of over 7000 patents covering various technology fields. In addition to our System’s signal, Wilan has strong fundamentals; $100 million in cash on hand, a cash-to-debt ratio of 2.98, and a 7.5% dividend. We see very little downside risk, and love the idea of being paid a 7.5% divided to wait for Wilan’s recovery in price. We expect an increase of at least 100%, with 300% being a very real possibility in the next six to twelve months.
