Ocean Tomo Equity Research Book: Intellectual Property and the Search for Investment Profits

The Ocean Tomo 300® Patent Index (AMEX: OTPAT), the first intellectual property index, represents a diversified portfolio of 300 companies with the highest Innovation Ratio [patent value/book value]. The American Stock Exchange recognizes it as “the first major, broad-based market equity index to be launched in 35 years, and follows the progression from the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 1896, to the Standard & Poor's 500 in 1957 and then to the NASDAQ Composite Index in 1971.” This book explores the Ocean Tomo 300 Patent Index to provide investors, asset managers, and financial advisors with compelling investment options and viable benchmarks. By constructing indexes and securities around the fundamental indicators of performance in the knowledge economy, Ocean Tomo Indexes and their related securities give the investment community access to, and benchmarks for, the leading asset of the knowledge economy, intellectual capital.
