Quest Patent Research Corporation is a small company that buys patents and then tries to earn money from them. Patents are legal rights that protect inventions, and companies that own them can charge others for using those inventions. Quest focuses on patents related to technology, and its "customers" are really the companies it licenses its patents to — or sometimes sues if those companies use the patents without paying.

The company makes money by licensing its patents to technology firms and collecting fees, sometimes through legal settlements. It operates primarily in the United States and is a very small company with a market cap near zero. This type of business is often called a "patent assertion entity," and its main risk is that courts can invalidate patents or rule against the company, which would eliminate its ability to generate revenue. Future results depend heavily on the outcome of ongoing legal proceedings, making cash flow unpredictable and lumpy.

Revenue accelerating

Quest Patent Research Corporation grew revenue 100% year-over-year and the growth rate is speeding up. That's the kind of momentum growth investors look for — the question is whether margins can follow.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
