The recognised approaches for this asset class, applied to your figures.
M.01The value of owning the IP equals the royalties you avoid paying. The engine applies royalty rates observed for comparable assets in your sector and region to the revenue the IP generates, net of the tax rate in the jurisdiction that holds it.
M.02Income attributable to the IP is projected over its remaining useful life and discounted at a rate reflecting legal strength, market position, obsolescence risk and the country risk of the markets where it is exploited.
M.03Where similar IP has changed hands — patent sales, trademark acquisitions, software M&A — observed prices anchor the range. Disclosure is strongest in the United States, so non-US deals are adjusted for market size and scope of rights.
M.04What it would cost today to develop equivalent technology, software or brand recognition, less obsolescence. Used as a floor, and as the main approach for early-stage assets with no revenue history.
M.05An IP right is only worth what it can be enforced on. Filing coverage by country, remaining term, opposition history and enforceability in each market are decisive adjustments — the same patent is worth far more filed across major economies than in a single country.
Straight answers before you start.
Q.01For a sale or licensing negotiation, a fundraising, a transfer between group entities, litigation, or financial reporting under IFRS or US GAAP. An indicative estimate helps you prepare; a signed report makes the figure defensible.
Q.02The revenue directly attributable to the IP, its remaining legal life, the countries it is protected in, its market position, and how easily a competitor could design around it.
Q.03Yes. The relief-from-royalty method values the brand from the revenue it protects, using royalty rates observed on comparable marks — no licensing history required.
Q.04Each territory is valued on the revenue and market it protects, then aggregated. A portfolio covering several major economies is worth more than the sum of isolated national filings because it blocks competitors globally.
Q.05The framework is the same, the drivers differ. Software is valued mostly on recurring revenue, retention and development cost; patents on the revenue they protect, remaining term and enforceability.
Q.06Filing and registration certificates by country, renewal status, licensing or distribution agreements, revenue attributable to the asset, development costs, and any litigation or opposition history.
