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
Systems 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
dont want to pay for the use of the patents, and they dont 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, Americas proposed Patent Reform legislation has severely
reduced the stock price of NPEs
At ANG Traders (www.angtraders.com) we dont 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 Systems
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 Wilans 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.
