Choosing the Right Valuation Method
Selecting the correct approach for patent valuation is critical to ensuring the result aligns with your objectives. At Parallel North IP, we utilize three primary valuation methodologies:
- Cost Replacement Approach: This method evaluates how much it would cost to replace the IP, often used when there is little market data.
- Market Approach: Based on comparable transactions, this method considers how similar assets have been valued in the market, providing a benchmark for pricing.
- Income Approach: This approach focuses on the future economic benefits that the IP will generate, ideal for determining long-term profitability.
Each case is unique, and we carefully assess the objective and the intended audience for the report before recommending the best approach. Choosing the right method is crucial, as it directly impacts the outcome of negotiations, investments, or internal decision-making.
