It is estimated that intellectual property (IP) represents at least 80% of corporate value across the globe. Some market experts predict that number will soar even higher as corporations focus on the competitive advantages offered through the ownership, utilization and commercialization of strategic IP portfolios. With so much opportunity at stake, striking the right balance between IP exploitation and protection is an increasingly key business objective for many organizations. Yet, even the fundamental step in deriving an accurate IP portfolio valuation can pose a significant challenge due to insufficient transactional insight and/or lack of a clear-cut methodology for analysis.
