  • System and method for valuing patents
    Patent number: 7676375
    Abstract: A computer system implementing a macro economic model based upon macroeconomic data and relative value characteristics data of patents that determines nominal values for (1) goods and services and (2) profits generated by sales that are covered by the rights of a patent, implements an income value theory to value the patent based upon the predicted values of profits or goods and services covered by the patent, determines patent terms from patent filing, publication, and issue dates, determines patent assignees from patent data, and uses the value of a company's patents, the patent issuance data and term date data, to determine trends versus time in: the number of a company's enforceable patents; the number of a company's patents obtained; the nominal value of net earnings and of goods and services sold that are covered by the company's patents; the nominal value of the sum of the company's patents, and provides comparisons of those trends between companies, regions, and economic sectors, providing the results
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Richard Alan Neifeld, Martin Goffman
  • Method for the electrodeposition of metals
    Patent number: 4789445
    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved electrodeposition process for the recovery of metals by controlling the concentration of certain impurities in the electrolyte. For a zinc sulfate electrolyte, control of only the antimony impurity level below a predetermined value provides an efficient electrodeposition process.

    Date of Patent: December 6, 1988
    Assignee: ASARCO Incorporated
    Inventors: Martin Goffman, Val Kudryk
  • Method of thiourea addition to electrolytic solutions useful for copper refining
    Patent number: 4511443
    Abstract: A process for precise controlling of thiourea concentrations in a copper sulfate, sulfuric acid solution used in copper refining has permitted improvements in tankhouse current efficiencies and the quality of the refined copper deposited on the cathodes.

  • Removal of mercury from sulfuric acid
    Patent number: 4336237
    Abstract: A method for removing mercury from a sulfuric acid solution including the steps of mixing the sulfuric acid solution with a hydrocarbon solution to form a chemical complex containing mercury. The hydrocarbon solution typically contains a lower alcohol and a halogen component. The mercury complex is removed by the addition of activated carbon and subsequent filtration. Alternatively, solvent extraction, volatilization or other suitable separation techniques can be used.
