Invariably, two individuals may assess an Intellectual Property (“IP”) asset from distinctly different perspectives. This is where IP Valuation becomes indispensable, as it serves to quantify and ascertain the benefits derived from the ownership of such assets and estimate a likely transaction price.

In essence, valuation is the process of quantifying the economic benefits associated with owning an asset. In IP Valuation, those benefits are measured in monetary terms, such as sales, incremental profits, or cash flow improvements.

A valuation opinion should establish key parameters, including the analysis date, valuation date, standard of value and premise of value. These parameters are usually determined before the valuation analyst presents calculations and opinions.
