Patent valuation

Patent valuation is like deciding how much something is worth. Whenever something is made or invented, it's like a special thing that nobody else has. The inventor, or person who made it, can put a patent on it - that means nobody can copy, use, or sell the thing without their permission. To make sure they are getting the right amount of money, they need to decide what their patent is worth. This is called patent valuation.
