IP represents a major share of today’s businesses. Yet, despite their fundamental importance, there is a lack of understanding of the economic worth of IP. There is a clear need to increase market actors’ understanding and certainty in IP valuation methods as a way to stimulate IP transactions, to support IP based financing and to give companies the tools to provide information about their IP.
This talk explains what the major challenges of IP valuation are and what can be done to overcome them.
