Welcome to the eight episode of the LES Italy Young Members Podcast, where we explore the most strategic topics in the world of intellectual property together with leading professionals and international experts.

In this episode, guided as always by Emanuela Bianco (Saglietti Bianco) and Alice Viviana Niccoli (EY Law Firm), we dive into a key theme for anyone working with innovation and technology: patent valorization.
How is the economic value of a patent created? How is it evaluated? And, most importantly, how can it be turned into a real asset capable of generating returns?

To help us answer these questions, we are honored to welcome two figures who have significantly contributed to shaping and innovating this field:

🔹 Erich Spangenberg – Co-Founder & CEO of SIM IP, a global reference in the financing and monetization of patent assets;
🔹 Prof. Dr. Heinz Goddar – Past President of LES International, Partner at Boehmert & Boehmert, IAM Hall of Fame member, and one of the world’s leading experts in patent valuation

Together, we will explore two complementary and fascinating perspectives:
• the legal–economic approach to valuation and the methods used to establish fair and defensible royalties;
• the strategic and financial vision behind selecting the right assets, managing monetization, and choosing the most effective models to transform a patent into real, tangible value.

As always, we’ll guide you through an open and practical conversation filled with insights for anyone working in IP or technology transfer.
