VALUE OF A PATENT OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ASSETS VIEWED FROM DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES The inventor’s perspective The inventing enterprise’s perspective The lisensor’s perspective The licensee’s perspective Social and perhaps global economic perspectives © Kari Sipilä
35
VALUATION METHODS TO CALCULATE THE VALUE OF IP
Cost Approach - based as realised costs or by comparing costs of a similar patent or product Market Approach - based on selling or buying of patents, comparing similar technologies or products Income Approach - based on a licensed IP and estimate of future cash flow over time, including estimates of success and risks. Popular method. Other methods - Business Results Method is based on calculated or estimated cash flow and revenues of business and estimated role of the patent in it. This value changes according to time and business. It may also include the influence of goodwill or value of other IPR - Monte Carlo is a simulation method. © Kari Sipilä
36
VALUATION IS ONLY AN ESTIMATE
Remember that all methods give only estimates It is good to use at least 2 methods Think and check the real possibilities of your product or company in the competition situation Do not select estimates of price, profit, markets, time, interest rates and risks too positively Valuations are only a starting point in business or licensing negotiations © Kari Sipilä
