Intellectual property valuation is necessary for determining the proper net worth of a company and the proper negotiation of related sale and licensing agreements on behalf of the company. Today, over fifty percent of a company's value can be directly related to the underlying intellectual property owned by that company. There are several methodologies commonly employed to value intellectual property. Our attorneys are experts in these different methodologies of intellectual property valuation.

Intellectual property valuation is a complex challenge, especially in marketplaces for new and developing technologies. Our attorneys are skilled in the latest valuation methodologies, including the "market method", the "top-down" method, the "reasonable royalty" method, the "technology factor" method, the "knowledge capital" method, the "competitive advantage" method, the "technology risk reward unit" method, Monte Carlo analysis and Black-Scholes option pricing analysis. Each method has unique advantages and disadvantages. Our attorneys understand which valuation model is the most appropriate for individual pieces of intellectual property, as well as entire intellectual property portfolios.
