The only difference is the investment process of auction enterprises. Patent right is different from the auction of trademark right, copyright and other tangible assets or other obvious intangible assets. Different patents have different potential bidders, which cannot form a relatively stable customer base like other tangible assets auctions. Auction enterprises can only attract investment as widely as possible according to their own experience. For bidders, they often don't know the actual value of the tender (or what they bought at all) before the tender is finalized and handed over, and they don't know how much benefit this tender can bring to themselves in the future (except for patents that have been put into production and proved by the market). Even if they decide to participate in the bidding, they also bear a heavy ideological burden. As for the patent owner, he is unwilling to disclose the patent content too much before the auction, which has formed the ambivalence of both the supply and demand sides. For auction enterprises, patent auction is difficult to attract investment. At present, there are not many auction enterprises that can successfully operate patent auction, and most auction enterprises have no experience in patent auction.
Auctions cost a lot of money. When an auction company auctions an unfamiliar or even unfamiliar auction target, it will inevitably find ways to reduce or pass on the cost risk, so charging the client for the cost has become the first choice. In this case, if you have decided to entrust this enterprise to auction, and this enterprise is unwilling to bear the cost risk, then you can only supervise whether the auction company will try its best to attract investment in the future investment process.
