THE CHALLENGE OF IP VALUATION
The economic valuation of intellectual property assets (IPV) remains an expert discipline, requiring human judgement and specialist know-how to account for multiple factors:
►Competitive environment and height of barriers to entry
►Strategic context specific to the entity conducting the IPV
►Intended use of results: licence assignment, transfer pricing, asset sale, IP portfolio audit, liquidation…
►Market studies, royalty rate benchmarking, risk assessment
The preliminary documentation remains time-consuming and costly, regardless of the method applied (cost, market or income approach). Existing automation solutions carry a major flaw: they operate as “black boxes”, sacrificing reproducibility, auditability and regulatory compliance.
