CAN WE RELIABLY VALUE IP RIGHTS: A MODEL PROCESS FOR VALUATION.
- Authors
FRIEL, RAYMOND J.
- Abstract
In the highly practical and commercially sensitive world of patent sales, the process of valuation lacks a huge degree of transparency or detailed process as to what price should be paid for the purchase of intellectual property (IP) rights. Although most agree such IP rights can be exceptionally valuable, there is little consensus as to how they can be valued. In this article, Part I first deals with both the immense wealth that is to be found in IP rights as well as the significant divergence of valuations for these rights. Then, Part II deals with the traditional economic basis used to calculate such values. In particular, the drawbacks and difficulties with a system that is focused exclusively on economic factors are discussed. Part III proposes what is termed the Murphy-Orcutt model of valuation through a robust process that includes not only economic inputs but also technical and legal inputs. Finally, the article concludes by arguing that a robust method of IP valuation.
