Abstract: This talk will discuss a robust text-based framework for analyzing the commercial value of innovations. Specifically, we show how one can identify key characteristics of patented healthcare innovations that lead to appropriation of value from the patent via licensing. We illustrate the framework using data from a large healthcare provider. Our framework can be useful for organizational forms that not only invest in and commercialize innovations but also act as distributors of intellectual property rights.
