CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
Ocean Tomo, LLC, the Chicago based Intellectual Capital Merchant Banc firm and
provider of diversified intellectual property-related services, announced the
annual reconstitution of the Ocean Tomo 300 Patent Index, (NYSE Euronext:

The Ocean Tomo 300 Patent Index (OTPAT) is the industry`s first index based on
the value of intellectual property, representing a diversified portfolio of 300
companies that own the most valuable patents relative to total corporate book
value. New company constituents contributing to the performance of the Index
include: AT&T, weighting 3.14% (NYSE: T); BP, weighting 3.69% (NYSE: BP);
Chevron, weighting 3.18% (NYSE: CVX); Canon, weighting 1.04% (NYSE: CAJ). These
new constituents join the top contributing companies continuing from last year
including: Microsoft (5.10% weighting); Royal Dutch Shell, PLC (3.82% weighting)
and Apple (3.51% weighting) in driving the performance of the Index.

Index Composition

Potential constituents include all equities trading on major U.S. exchanges that
are among the 1000 most liquid securities. This group is then narrowed to a
universe of companies that own patents and divided into 50 style and size
groups, ranked by their Innovation Ratio, a 100% rules-based methodology that
identifies those securities with the greatest patent value relative to book
value. The six highest ranking securities in each of the 50 groups are selected
and weighted by market capitalization.

Innovation Ratio

value of their patent portfolio divided by total corporate book value. The Ocean
Tomo PatentRatings system is the most advanced web-based patent data, ratings
and analysis platform designed for objectively assessing patent quality,
relative value, relevant patents and technologies, competition, and competitive
trends. Built upon patented methodologies, (US Patent No. 6,556,992) the system
shows interrelationships among all U.S. patents with a numerical relevance
score. No other analysis and research tool combines patent quality metrics with
other competitive portfolio assessment on a single accessible platform.

Patent Index has outperformed the S&P 500 by 10.02%. This performance confirms
the not only the relevance of the OT300 as the natural benchmark for the U.S.

by publicly traded companies to provide a more accurate picture of corporate
health.
