Your Results: Your patent is worth pursuing
This result suggests that, in the most likely business case, the potential returns you might expect significantly outweigh the investment costs and justify enforcing the patent against potential infringers. As such, protecting your technology with a patent appears to make good business sense under this model.
Note: This recommendation is based on the average cost of going through the entire patent process, including prior art research, patent application preparation, office action responses, and monetization consulting.
