mar:val gives you a value you can justify and a ranking of the companies with a reason to buy your technology.
mar:val places every company in the field by technology strength and resource strength, your own among them. Strong technology with little to scale it on lands in the quadrant for partnering and licensing out.
mar:val maps the technology to the markets that use it and splits the sector's sales by sub-sector, with the companies in each. Here that is driver assistance and cabin sensing in cars, patient monitoring and imaging in medtech.
| Sub-sector | Sales 2025 | Share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automotive | |||
| Driver assistance | $0.86B | 36% | |
| Cabin sensing | $0.53B | 22% | |
| Medtech | |||
| Patient monitoring | $0.62B | 26% | |
| Imaging | $0.39B | 16% | |
| Sector sales | $2.40B | ||
Size and growth say whether there is money in it. Two more figures say whether technology changes owner: the share of active patent families that did, and the median size of the deals recorded in the field.

mar:val values the technology by relief from royalty, the licence fees a user would otherwise pay. Two derivations, one from the size of the market and one from real revenue, meet in one figure, split across the patent families that protect the technology.

Each family's share follows its claim breadth, technological reach, citations, the economic complexity of its filing country and its market coverage.
Companies from the field, ranked by a match score from 0 to 100. The score has six components and carries the model's confidence. A candidate that already holds your technology loses points. One without the money to buy is capped, whatever the rest of its score says.

In the report
You get the figure and its derivation: method, assumptions, weights and sources. The other side can recompute every step instead of having to take your word for it.
The value is derived for each patent family anyway, from claim breadth, remaining term, jurisdictions and market coverage. A portfolio is only the sum. To find buyers, what matters is the field around your technology, whatever the size of your holding.
From the companies that file and manufacture in the same technology field. Each arrives with a financial profile, a filing history and an acquisition record, which makes the ranking more than a list of names.
Then the report says so. Missing evidence is reported as missing, and an empty result is a permitted result.
