A conjoint method for making patent assertion and patent licensing decisions is disclosed. The method includes identifying at least one feature protected by patents within a patent portfolio. The method also includes generalizing the at least one feature into one or more corresponding attributes and administering a conjoint survey based on the corresponding attributes. Preference data is obtained from results of the conjoint survey. The preference data is used to determine whether to take action with respect to a patent in the portfolio.
