4 Signs It's Time to Abandon Your Patent
How to make smart, strategic calls on when to abandon patents — and why doing so is essential to long-term innovation and budget health Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Patents are often filed early, before a startup knows what the market really wants. That's smart, but it comes with a challenge: Not every idea turns out to be worth protecting. Markets shift. Products pivot. And eventually, founders ask: Should we keep paying for this patent or cut our losses? It's a tough call. Abandoning a patent midway can feel like giving up. But continuing just because you've already spent money? That's the sunk cost trap, and it quietly drains your budget. Many startups keep prosecuting every idea, paying rejections, annuities and attorney fees. But a smart IP strategy means knowing what to keep and what to walk away from. Here's how to make that call strategically. Related: How to Identify the Patent-Worthy Innovations in Your Business Built-in checkpoints in patent lifecycle — use them Roughly, you can split a patent's entire lifecycle cost into three parts. The first third goes to drafting the application, another third is for arguing the patent through issuance, and the final third covers patent maintenance fees for the next 20+ years. In a way, these financial checkpoints are decision checkpoints, too. When drafting, consider whether the invention aligns with your core business or is just a side experiment that may never get to market. During prosecution, evaluate whether it's still worth the legal wrangling, as each round of argument is costly. And when renewal fees come due, ask if the patent still supports your product, blocks competitors or adds leverage against others in the market. Unfortunately, many startups treat these pivotal stages as administrative formalities. Instead of evaluating whether continued investment is justified at each stage, many companies default to pushing forward — whether by extending prosecution unnecessarily, filing continuations without a clear purpose, or simply paying maintenance fees — without assessing strategic alignment. That's how portfolios get bloated with low-impact patents. The only solution here is patent pruning: Abandon some patent filings at the right checkpoints. Related: Don't Let Patent Costs Crush Your Startup — Here's How to Protect Your IP Without Breaking the Bank What are the signs that it's time to abandon a patent? Every dollar spent defending or maintaining a weak patent is a dollar not spent protecting something truly valuable. Therefore, you must look for the signs at different checkpoints to spot a patent to discard. Here are some signs to look for: 1. No market validation A patent is only valuable if the protected product actually sells. If your invention fails to gain customer traction, the patent will be a failure. Experts emphasize focusing on "high-impact" problems with real demand. Without that market pull, even a granted patent is a dead weight. For example, Google Glass — once hyped as the future of AR eyewear — never found a viable consumer market. It was pulled from sale in 2015 (and again in 2023) due to poor adoption, illustrating how patents tied to unvalidated products offer no return. 2. Shifting industry direction Industries evolve, and a patent can lose value if the tech horizon moves on. In practice, companies are advised to ask whether their invention still aligns with "the target industry and market." If adjacent innovations eclipse your solution (for example, cloud services replacing old networking hardware), the patent's relevance vanishes. In that scenario, it makes little sense to keep paying maintenance fees. Better to refocus on protections for innovations that fit the new direction of your field. 3. Prior art kills the novelty Sometimes, what initially feels like a breakthrough ends up being something others have already attempted or fully disclosed. If prior art eclipses your claims, the chances of securing meaningful protection drop significantly. At that point, even if you receive a patent, it may be so narrow that it offers little real-world value. Continuing to prosecute a case like this can quickly become a drain on time and legal budget. 4. Weak business use case Every patent in your portfolio should earn its keep through business impact or the potential to do so on your current roadmap. If it's not protecting a revenue-generating product, blocking a competitor or supporting licensing efforts, its value is questionable. Startups often hang on to patents without a clear path to monetization or strategic use. But unless a patent strengthens your market position or serves a legal or commercial purpose, it's just another expense on the books. To actively prune your patent portfolio, just looking for signs isn't enough. As the portfolio grows, you need a deliberate, repeatable process for patent abandonment assessment. Build a patent pruning system: Health checks and ranking framework An effective patent pruning system should take two things into consideration: 1) lifecycle stage and 2) multiple perspectives. For the first one, you want to start by ranking each patent across key lifecycle stages: At the idea stage : Is this innovation aligned with your product roadmap or market differentiation? Post-filing : Has the landscape shifted? Is the application still strategically relevant? Pre-renewal: Is the granted patent still supporting revenue, blocking competitors or enhancing leverage? The higher a patent scores at a certain stage, the more you want to invest in it. Please note that not only your legal counsel team but also others, such as product, technology, marketing and finance, must contribute to this ranking system, as pruning cannot be undone. The goal is to ensure that patents are evaluated through a business lens, not just a legal one. Consider using patent management tools that provide full portfolio visibility and enable seamless collaboration as part of your patent pruning process. Related: 4 Surprising Patent Myths That Could Cost You Big — What You Need to Know Now Pruning a patent portfolio isn't just about saving money; it's about fueling what's next with the reclaimed budget. In 2020, IBM stepped back from chasing patent volume. "We're no longer pursuing patent leadership," they said. "We're being more selective." The result? Fewer filings, stronger focus and more investment in high-growth areas like AI and quantum computing. That's the lesson: Pruning isn't cutting back. It's reallocating toward where your business is growing. Because IP should follow your future, not fund your past.

Regulated But Not Restricted: Software Transformation Despite Compliance Barriers
In highly regulated industries, innovation is stuck in the past, running on 1990s-era technology wrapped in a 2020s coat of paint. In 2011, Marc Andreessen declared that software is eating the world. By 2023, Shyam Sankar observed that software had already eaten the world. But now, the question is: Is the world eating software? Software has become ubiquitous, as cloud, mobile, data, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT) have fused into everyday life. But while software transformation is advancing at a breakneck pace when it comes to the mundane, it's stalling out in highly regulated industries like healthcare and finance, those that could benefit from progress the most. The average American interacts with software daily, almost hourly. Fitness trackers have evolved into medical devices, self-driving cars are rewriting mobility, and AI copilots are reshaping how we work. Software is no longer just eating the world—it is being consumed, regulated, and embedded into critical, real-world infrastructure. Yet, in highly regulated industries, innovation remains stuck in the past, running on 1990s-era technology wrapped in a 2020s coat of paint. Compliance constraints have slowed adoption, leaving industries like defense, finance, and healthcare struggling to integrate modern software-driven value into their core operations. Finding a productive way forward requires keeping the intent of regulation alive while making adjustments as needed. Enabling Software Transformation in Regulated Industries When faced with compliance barriers, most organizations take one of two counterproductive approaches: They either give up, assuming regulations make modern software practices impossible, or they try to shoehorn modern practices into legacy compliance frameworks. Instead of settling for 'no,' it can be beneficial to reframe the problem as 'yes, if.' What has to change for the desired outcome to be achieved? When it comes to outdated policies, it's sometimes possible to identify strategic modifications that maintain the intent of compliance while enabling progress. Regulatory frameworks are designed to protect against specific risks—for example, data protection laws safeguard consumer privacy. They're not meant to stifle innovation. If it's possible to make a business case for an exception, it may be possible to make a change. By addressing underlying concerns instead of mindlessly following outdated rules, transformation may be possible. Of course, there are limitations. While regulatory structures can be reframed, they can't be ignored completely. If you're an auto manufacturer, you build your cars to fit existing infrastructure—the roads and highways already available. You don't build a car that's so big and unwieldy, it doesn't fit on the road, and then insist to the government that the roads should be wider. In the same way, regulated industries must focus on being fit for purpose as they innovate, rather than innovating for innovation's sake. Small Changes Can Mean Big Impact Ultimately, the question isn't whether software can transform highly regulated industries—it undoubtedly can. It's whether these industries, given their regulatory constraints, can consume and adapt to software at the speed of relevance. The world demands trustworthy, scalable, and compliant platforms, but are we truly prepared for the next wave of software-driven transformation? Until we find ways for highly regulated industries to innovate more freely, software transformation will stagnate in these areas, meaning untapped potential and missed opportunities for security, efficiency, and potentially life-saving innovations.
