Ocean Tomo 300^® Patent Growth Index

The Ocean Tomo 300® Patent Growth Index includes the top growth companies of the broad-market Ocean Tomo 300® Patent Index, as determined by the price-to-book ratio, and is diversified across market capitalization. It is the industry’s first growth index based on the value of intellectual property and represents a portfolio of 60 companies with the highest innovation ratio (i.e., patent value relative to book value).

The Index, which would have outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth index by 272 basis points annualized with less volatility for the ten years ended April 2007, is another valuable tool for analysts, financial advisors and investors. Its creation represents the next logical step in the market’s recognition of the role innovation plays in our economy.
