Intellectual Property Services

In today's information age, strategies for managing a company's intellectual property are critical to corporate decision making.  Intellectual property is becoming an increasingly larger part of our economy and are the value generators of the future.  To sustain economic growth, companies will have to:

• Identify all of their intellectual property
• Measure the value of each individual intellectual property
• Identify revenues and cash flow attributable to the intellectual property
• Protect their intellectual property
• Manage intellectual property registrations on a world wide basis
• License intellectual property to and from third parties
• Assure compliance with all agreements

Managing a company's intellectual property requires understanding value for sale/purchase transactions, licensing in or out, patent infringement litigation, strategic planning, or bankruptcy proceedings.  Each of these valuation purposes depends on several critical variables which may include:

• The appropriate standard (definition) or value which should be used (e.g., investment/strategic value, fair market value or fair value)
• The appropriate premise of value which distinguishes going concern value or liquidation value
• The projected economic benefit stream
• Remaining economic life
• The appropriate discount rate
• The appropriate royalty rate
• Any adjustments required by case law or supported by market research
   

Our services include: consulting on licensing strategies or economic consequences, intellectual property, intellectual property-dependent company valuations, and valuation-related services for financial, tax and litigation purposes.
