Patent Valuations

Your law firm is prosecuting the defense on behalf of your client in a case centered around the infringement of a patent. Your accounting firm is representing a client that needs to understand the worth of their overall company for tax reporting purposes. Or perhaps your business needs to understand the value or sale price of its latest technology. In all three instances, knowing the value of your client's or company's patents is a crucial variable. In a patent infringement case, in order to prove loss of income, a patent valuation must be completed to show the real value of what they have lost. A valuation firm determining the total worth of a business cannot completely identify that worth just based on hard assets and working capital; they must take other intangible assets, such as the value of a patent, into account. And, the sale price of technology isn't accurately represented unless you know and include the value of its patent.

There are several different situations in which a patent valuation becomes a necessary component of a company's worth. Plus, with the increasing need for business valuation services in recent years, due to the growing amount of claims and disputes that need asset valuation, knowing the true value of your business and its patents plays a large role in accurately representing them. Appraisal Economics offers valuations of patents for clients in a variety of industries. Our experienced and trusted opinions and methodologies have been used in providing litigation support, financing, book and tax reporting, and for intercompany technology transfers.

Placing Value on Patents

Determining the value of a patent can be a complex process. Patent valuations could be required to assist in the sale of technology, or the intercompany transfer of that technology. A shareholder may need a patent valuation to assess the true worth of the company, or management might need to place value on their patents in order to measure performance for taxation purposes. Different patent valuations require different considerations and require complex analysis. At Appraisal Economics, we meet these complexities head on by using the most up-to-date patent valuation methods.

We start by having in-depth conversations with company management about the history of and financial projections for their technology. We specifically pay attention to instances where similar technologies may have been licensed within the industry. All of this information allows us to produce a detailed financial analysis to determine the value of the patent. In providing patent valuation services, we meet or exceed all relevant industry standards, and our clients have come to expect high-level services from our team of proven industry leaders.
