Valuation Of Patents & Trademarks

Description

• According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), any asset belonging to a company can be valued for its current market price. An asset can be a tangible or intangible item and its value is determined on its future economic benefits. Our Team in India can provide more details on the legal interpretation for tangible/intangible assets. • In the case of an intangible asset which is also an intellectual property asset, the value is determined based on the ability to exclude other competitors from a particular market. • The value of an IP asset is determined by the following: • Generate financial benefits for the owner; • Develop the value of other assets which are related to the respective IP item. • There are three main methods to determine the value of an IP asset: • • cost method – establishing a value based on the costs of developing the same or a similar asset in India or in another market; • • market method – establishing value based on the price of a similar IP asset; • • income method – the value is based on the estimated income generated by the sale of the asset. • Persons interested in receiving further information on the intellectual property valuation in India are invited to contact our law firm.
