Understanding the Significance of Evaluating Patents

 

Optimize the Value of Your Patents with Professional Valuation

You can’t manage what you can’t measure. You can’t monetize what you can’t value.

Failing to understand the value of your patents can have significant consequences. At the negotiating table, licensing professionals might misprice upfront payments, milestones, and royalty rates. During term sheet discussions and roadshows, company valuations often overlook the contribution of a firm’s most critical assets.

Relying solely on accounting ledgers presents a distorted view of the value of patents and inventions. In acquisitions, joint ventures, or corporate reorganizations, ignoring the valuation of intangible assets can lead to significant errors in closing prices, deal terms, and equity allocation.

Without the ability to articulate the value of your intellectual property, you may be forced to accept whatever price your negotiating adversaries offer. Inventors and shareholders ultimately bear the cost of ill-prepared negotiations.

Don’t leave your organization vulnerable to better-prepared negotiators. Hire a Certified Patent Valuation Analyst (CPVA) to prepare comprehensive Patent Valuation Reports. Find the best-suited CPVA in our directory to ensure you maximize the value of your intellectual property.
