Expert Patent Valuation Services

Translate your complex intellectual property into concrete financial metrics. We provide objective, defensible patent valuation for high-tech licensing, M&A, and litigation.

Assigning a Dollar Amount to Intangible Assets

Understanding the true economic value of a given piece of intellectual property (IP) requires a rare combination of legal expertise, deep technical engineering, and financial modeling. Assigning a dollar amount to an intangible, abstract concept is never intuitive. Furthermore, the rapidly changing state of modern technology ensures a level of market volatility that can easily confound standard IP assessments.

Most importantly, it can be extremely difficult to remain objective about an invention’s value when the development costs—both in dollars and in intensive man-hours—are glaringly obvious on your corporate balance sheet. To help navigate the ever-changing IP market, TAEUS offers expert, independent patent valuation services tailored specifically for high-technology portfolios.

Our Approach to Patent & IP Valuation Analysis

Our intellectual property valuation prowess has been repeatedly vetted and found to be outstanding by major global corporations and premier patent auctions. We do not rely on standard algorithms; instead, we combine our deep technical teardowns with the three foundational pillars of IP valuation to deliver an unassailable financial report:

The Income Approach

We evaluate the potential present value of your patent based on anticipated future income and licensing revenue (such as the Relief-from-Royalty method).

The Market Approach

We benchmark your IP against recent, comparable transactions within your specific high-tech sector, relying on our extensive access to market data.

The Cost Approach

We factor in the costs necessary to develop or replace the invention, establishing a baseline structural value.

Unlocking Value Through Synergy and Prior Art

A patent rarely exists in a vacuum. We will examine your patent in the context of your entire intellectual property portfolio to identify hidden synergy. In many cases, a handful of closely related patents offered as a unified package can be far more valuable than the sum of each patent individually.

To ensure your valuation holds up under scrutiny, we augment our financial data with rigorous prior art searches and technology reviews. This determines the true legal strength of the patent and identifies whether any competing “blocking” patents exist that might diminish your invention’s market value.

Do You Know the True Value of Your Patents?

We have performed accurate, litigation-ready valuations for some of the world’s leading technology innovators. Stop guessing at the value of your most important assets.

    By Art Nutter | January 30, 2018
