IP Valuation
Intellectual property is often one of the most valuable intangible assets of a business. Patents, trademarks, designs, copyright, technical know-how, brand assets and related rights can influence investment decisions, business negotiations, licensing opportunities, fundraising, litigation strategy and long-term commercial planning. IP valuation is the process of identifying, analysing and assigning value to intellectual property assets in a specific business, legal or transactional context. A well-structured valuation helps businesses understand not only the legal strength of their IP portfolio but also its commercial relevance, revenue potential, market position and associated risks.
