Valuation

Valuating Intellectual Property (IP) is a distinctive discipline that demands analytical acumen, a mastery of finance theory, and access to an extensive body of research. Without hands-on experience and immersion in the IP domain, a valuator cannot accurately reflect the realities of the IP industry in their assessments. Careless selection of drivers and assumptions can lead to unreliable valuation results.

With extensive expertise in licensing, intellectual property, and valuation services, FIN IP Group provides tailored appraisals and valuation services aligned with your specific needs. Choosing FIN IP Group guarantees a thorough and accurate valuation.

IP valuation primarily encompasses three key approaches: the income approach, market approach, and cost approach. Each method is carefully considered to ensure a comprehensive and reliable valuation outcome.

Income Approach

The income approach assesses the value of patents by evaluating the projected economic income, which refers to future cash flows, that can be generated throughout the remaining economic lifespan of the patents.

This method hinges on a precise comprehension of the underlying royalty base, encompassing factors like revenue, units, subscribers, or users. It further involves the application of an appropriate royalty rate to this identified royalty base. Achieving accuracy in this process demands an IP valuator with an extensive background in licensing and transactional experience, as they must discern which royalty rates to apply, know where to source them, and understand how to interpret royalty bases across diverse markets. Valuations conducted by non-specialized valuators in the field of IP are likely to yield significantly inaccurate results.

Market Approach

The price paid for a comparable patent or group of patents in an open marketplace serves as a strong indicator of patent value. However, the unique nature of intellectual property presents challenges in finding directly comparable market transactions. Additionally, when such transactions do occur, the terms of exchange are often undisclosed to the public. These factors create complexities in adjusting for disparities between market data and the subject IP.

Drawing upon our in-depth understanding of technology and other key value drivers like encumbrance profiles, patent life, and international filings, FIN IP Group holds a distinctive edge in the identification of comparable transactions. We maintain a comprehensive transaction database and leverage our access to top-tier third-party data sources. This allows us to refine our assessments and ensure a precise valuation of intellectual property assets.

Cost Approach

The cost approach evaluates intellectual property (IP) based on the expenditure required to produce or replicate the subject IP or IP with comparable utility. One notable drawback of this approach is that investment expenditure doesn’t always directly equate to value.

Leveraging FIN IP Group’s extensive expertise and proficiency, we deliver valuation reports that stand out for their accuracy, minimal variance, and robust defensibility within the industry. Every member of our team at FIN IP Group possesses advanced business and finance degrees, demonstrating exceptional proficiency in financial theory, holding relevant designations, showcasing technical skills, and boasting industry experience specific to intellectual property. This combined knowledge and experience ensure that our valuations are unparalleled in precision and reliability.
