84% of the market value of the top 500 US companies is attributed to intangible assets such as patents and trade marks.

BUT less than 1% of US patents are commercially viable. 

The vast majority of people investing in IP fail to realise any return, even when they use a patent or trademark attorney. Why is this so?
