Intellectual property (IP), the exclusive rights held by an inventor or a producer of creative work, can be among the most valuable assets of a corporation. IP can include patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights and other assets such as rights of publicity. The need for an independent valuation of IP can be driven by a variety of transactions and other situations:

• Mergers & acquisitions
• Negotiations of licenses
• Divestitures, spin-offs
• Bankruptcies and restructurings
• Litigation
• Collateral for financing
• Transfer pricing
• Financial reporting, tax planning and other compliance needs

Companies that effectively manage, protect and leverage their intellectual property often finish far ahead of their competitors in creating new revenue streams and enhancing returns to shareholders.
