A valuation of intangible assets or intellectual property might be needed for tax reasons, for commercial purposes or in connection with litigation.
To place value an intangible asset, it must:
- Be capable of being owned and described
- Be transferable
- Be subject to legal existence and protection
Types of intangible assets include:
- Patents
- Trademarks
- Brands
- Royalties
- Customer relationships
- Film rights
- Registered design
- Goodwill
Parmentier Arthur has considerable experience in intellectual property valuations and the valuation of intangible assets for tax and non-fiscal purposes. We take a rigorous approach, subjecting the assumptions on which financial projections are based to hard-nosed scrutiny, analysing the intended or actual markets in terms of prospects and competition and stress-testing any financial projections.
