> Delivering actual value to customers.

That's exactly what companies usually patent - things or methods that deliver value, because theoretically it's what patenting is all about.




Delivering value does not immediately follow filing a patent. It's great that you came up with something novel (chances are it's not, you just beat everyone else to the patent office), but it's not worth anything until you actually figure out how to get someone to pay you money for it. That's the hard part, and that's where the value comes from.
