Establishing an objective, market-driven measure of IP value

Technology-based corporations and capital market investors need competent, objective, yet affordable valuation of their intellectual property.  IP Resources can provide two levels of valuation for a given patent or technology asset.  As a baseline, we employ the Technology Risk/Reward Unit (TRRU ®) valuation algorithm developed by the Patent & License Exchange (Pl-x^sm) which is based on the Black-Scholes call option pricing formula.   

Using the mathematically derived Pl-x^sm valuation as a benchmark, IP Resources adds value by integrating more subjective, but equally significant qualitative market factors into the valuation process.  For example, valuation is heavily influenced by the degree and significance of benefit delivered by the technology, risks to successful commercial development, and market and technical strengths of competitive solutions.  These issues and more are investigated and analyzed, then integrated into the valuation model with appropriate weighting.  IP Resources valuations deliver a reliable measure of market value for a technology asset in a relatively short time at a very reasonable cost.  Deliverables consist of a comprehensive report for each technology valuated, including detailed background data, supporting rationales and a full explanation of methodologies used.
