The inaugural Bright Lights Conference will showcase 50 of the most innovative public companies ranked in the 90^th percentile for technology leadership from over 1,600 small cap companies with U.S. patents, as rated by PatentVest, MDB’s proprietary IP business intelligence database. (Click here for an example of a PatentVest Report.)  In addition to company presentations, expert panels, IP workshops and one-on-one investor meetings, MDB will provide insightful analysis and objective data regarding the technology leadership and competitive landscape of the companies presenting during this exclusive, invitation-only event. 

The Bright Lights Conference underscores MDB’s commitment to advancing the financial market’s understanding of the hidden value of intellectual property assets and future technologic leadership. 

The 50 companies presenting at Bright Lights were selected from more than 1,600 small cap companies which were scored, ranked and analyzed on the basis of their rate of innovative change; as well as the novelty, quality and industry impact of their patents. Back-tested IP and financial data will be presented for the first time to indicate the selection of companies on the basis of these IP metrics can be correlated to benchmarked financial performance.
