Estimate the value of an IP rights portfolio

Do you own patents or other intellectual property rights and have questions about their value? The financial valuation studies carried out by the Brandon Group can be useful to you.

Why carry out a financial valuation of your assets?

Your intellectual property rights and the associated know-how are valuable. During the life of your business, you may have to wonder about it for various reasons:

Increase the equity of your company, by contributing the patent to its capital under certain conditions;
Determine the price of the asset in case of transfer of ownership (assignment) of your patent, trademark, domain name, software;
Grant a business license of your intellectual property rights;
Organize the entry of a new investor (fundraising) or in the event of industrial backing, merger, or sale of the company;
Consider a transaction within the context of litigation (damages).

In these different cases, knowing the value of your rights thanks to a valuation study will allow you to have a solid basis for future negotiations.

This is why our partner Brandon Valorisation has developed a service based on its own method: ValoFin™. ValoFin™ makes it possible to value a patent, value a trademark, value a software, value a domain name or even value know-how.
