Intangible assets are a core business asset. We assist with identifying, assessing, and valuing IP rights and intangible assets. These include:
- Patents
- Trade marks
- Domain names
- Copyright
- Software
- Customer relationships
- Brands
- Goodwill
- Reputation
We adopt accepted valuation methods, and where necessary, comply with financial reporting and international guidelines. Our valuations are used by organisations at all stages of development and growth.
We offer a systematic and structured approach to IP identification and valuation for:
- Attracting investment capital;
- Assessing business value;
- Business combinations and mergers and acquisitions;
- Purchase price allocation;
- Transfer pricing;
- Strategy formulation and capital allocation;
- Facilitating licensing and other transactions;
- Assessing damages payable for breach of intangible assets; and
- Assisting with negotiating and settling contracts and disputes.
We also assist with assessing royalty figures under licensing arrangements, including providing empirical support for target royalty rates, for example for use in negotiation.
When required, we work seamlessly in partnership with an external expert valuer with extensive experience in intangible asset and IP valuation.
