GTT Group Publishes Third Quarter Patent Transaction Market Report (PTMR) During Period of Limited USPTO Data Availability

PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global Technology Transfer Group, Inc. (GTT Group), a world leader in strategic patent analysis, patent transaction, patent development venture capital, and patent enterprise valuation services released its Third Quarter 2025 Patent Transaction Market Report and Forecast (PTMR) this morning. The report includes the Patent Market Index (PMI®) and the Patent Licensing Index (PLI®) along with sector specific patent activity.

The market appeared robust from all outward measures in the third quarter, and the PLI continued to show growth, recording an 8 percent gain and a 19 percent increase over the last 12 months. Since first publishing this report almost 20 years ago, this past quarter marked the first time the primary data source, the USPTO, experienced technical challenges that prevented the timely delivery of complete data sets. The situation appears to have been resolved in the fourth quarter. Despite the incomplete data sets, GTT Group made the decision to publish, as the available data provides insight on patent market activity.

Michael Lubitz, Senior Managing Director and Founder of GTT Group, added, “While we did not obtain a complete picture of market activity in the third quarter, we felt the data was noteworthy. The transactional data was of particular interest and merits review.”
