Independent Valuation of Patents and Patent-Related Economic Rights
The Valuation Group provides patent valuation support for matters involving patented technology, patent portfolios, licensing rights, royalty streams, infringement claims, technology transfers, financial reporting, tax-sensitive transfers, and transaction-related decisions.
Our work supports attorneys, inventors, business owners, licensors, licensees, investors, CFOs, auditors, CPA firms, tax advisors, and advisory teams that need documented valuation analysis involving patent rights or patent-related economic benefit.
Why The Valuation Group
Patent value depends on more than the existence of a patent. The analysis must address the economic benefit of the protected technology, the scope of the rights, remaining legal life, market adoption, commercial use, available alternatives, development stage, competitive position, infringement risk, licensing potential, and the income or cost savings attributable to the patented asset.
Our work ties the patent rights to the commercial economics: adoption, alternatives, useful life, cost savings, licensing potential, and the portion of income attributable to the protected technology.
We value patents, patented technology, patent portfolios, technical rights, medical technology, pharmaceutical-related assets, software-enabled technology, industrial processes, proprietary systems, and other patent-protected assets.
Our analysis may address expected income, royalty potential, market size, useful life, commercialization risk, development risk, legal protection, competitive alternatives, and the economic relationship between the patent and the business using it.
Patent matters often involve licensing negotiations, royalty streams, related-party licenses, technology transfers, or royalty disputes.
We analyze royalty rates, royalty bases, expected licensing income, comparable agreements where available, useful life, market conditions, risk, and the economic contribution of the patented technology.
Patent disputes may require analysis of reasonable royalty damages, lost profits, apportionment, incremental profit, convoyed sales, licensing history, available alternatives, and the economic value of the patented feature or technology.
We provide financial analysis designed to assist counsel and advisory teams in evaluating the damages position, reviewing opposing expert opinions, and supporting settlement, mediation, arbitration, or litigation.
Patent valuation may be needed for acquisitions, sales, licensing transactions, financial reporting, purchase price allocations, impairment testing, estate or tax-sensitive transfers, investor reporting, and strategic decisions.
Our reports explain the patent rights valued, financial evidence considered, valuation methods used, assumptions applied, and reasoning supporting the value conclusion.
