Our Value Intellectual Property Valuation Techniques

1. Income Approach

Forecasts future economic benefits (such as royalty streams or cost savings) and discounts them to present value. This is the most common method for IP tied to revenue generation.

2. Cost Approach

Estimates the cost to recreate or replace the IP today. Useful for early-stage technologies or when income streams are uncertain.

3. Market Approach

Compares your IP to similar transactions in the market. Applied when reliable, comparable data is available (e.g. licensing deals, M&A benchmarks).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is intellectual property valuation?

Intellectual property valuation is the process of determining the fair market value of intangible assets such as patents, trademarks, brands, software, databases, and trade secrets.

Can I value my IP without revenue?

Yes, using the Cost Approach. If IP is early-stage or not yet monetised, we estimate what it would cost to recreate or replace it. These assets often hold significant commercial value, even when they don’t appear on the balance sheet. A professional IP valuation brings transparency and credibility to your strategy, negotiations, and reporting.
