Patent valuation framework. An agent skill from revfactory/harness-100.

  • Royalty calculation requests
  • SKILL.md covers Valuation Methodologies, Industry Royalty Benchmarks, 25% Rule (Rule of Thumb) and Patent Strength Assessment, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Intellectual property

What it does

Patent Valuation is an agent skill from revfactory/harness-100. Patent valuation framework. Referenced by the ip-analyst and license-strategist agents when calculating the economic value of IP assets. Use for 'patent value', 'IP valuation', or 'royalty calculation' requests. Legal patent infringement assessment and litigation representation are out of scope.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Intellectual property. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Royalty calculation requests
  • Tasks that involve Intellectual property

Example prompts

  • “patent value”
  • “IP valuation”
  • “royalty calculation”
  • “/patent-valuation”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e8d35c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Patent Valuation loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 249 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Enhances the IP valuation capabilities of the ip-analyst and license-strategist agents.

Valuation Methodologies

Three Approaches
ApproachMethodBest Suited For
Cost ApproachCost of development/acquisitionEarly-stage, no alternative technology
Market ApproachComparable IP transaction dataComparable transactions exist
Income ApproachPresent value of future incomeClear monetization pathway
Cost Approach
Reproduction Cost:
  = R&D Labor + Materials + Equipment + Overhead
  + Opportunity Cost (time value)
  - Depreciation (functional/economic obsolescence)

Example:
  R&D Cost: $500,000
  Overhead: $100,000
  Obsolescence Depreciation: -20%
  Value: (500,000 + 100,000) x 0.8 = $480,000
Market Approach
Comparable Transaction Comparison:
  Value = Comparable IP Transaction Price x Adjustment Factor

Adjustment Factors:
  - Technology similarity (0.5-1.5)
  - Market size ratio
  - Remaining protection period ratio
  - Rights scope (exclusive/non-exclusive)
Income Approach (Relief from Royalty)
Value = Sum of [Revenue_t x Royalty Rate x (1-Tax Rate) / (1+r)^t]

t: Remaining patent term (1 to N years)
r: Discount rate (WACC basis, 12-20%)
Royalty Rate: Industry-specific benchmark (see below)

Industry Royalty Benchmarks

IndustryRoyalty Rate RangeMedian
Pharmaceutical/Biotech3-10%5%
Semiconductor/Electronics1-5%3%
Software5-25%10%
Chemical/Materials2-5%3%
Machinery/Equipment1-5%3%
Consumer Goods2-8%4%
Automotive1-3%2%

25% Rule (Rule of Thumb)

Royalty = Licensee Operating Profit x 25%

Rationale: 25% of patent-contributed profit goes to the patent holder
Caveat: Courts use this only as a reference, not an absolute standard
