• Sales comparison approach
• It is based on actual price paid for a similar or comparable IP under similar/comparable circumstances
• Need complete data
• Problem in getting full details
• Two steps: screening and adjustments
• Screening is identifying third party transactions
• Adjustments are in Location, Advertising support, IP strength and period of licence

Market Approach
• When
– Focus is on market transactions – sales/licenses
– IP transaction details highly confidential
– Assets typically not comparable
• Different underlying IP assets
• Different compensation structures
• Different geographic territories
• Different market potentials/degree of
success

Income Method/Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method
• Attempts to determine the value of the IP by computing the present value of cash flows, attributable to that piece of IP, over the useful life of the asset.
• Lack of specificity and detail regarding various risky normative factors (i.e., such as legal risk, technological risk, piracy, etc.)
• Further, often DCF fails to consider dependencies on properties held by others. In roughly 40 percent of cases, patents depend on other patents or property held in the public domain

Cost Method
• Estimates the value of underlying IP asset basing on historical cost incurred in developing the asset
• Two approaches• Replacement Cost: The cost to develop
similar functionality to the subject IP outside the scope of the legal protection
• Reproduction cost: Cost of reproducing the IP product or service or procedure

Cost Approach: When?
• Has limited value• Used for
– Patents– Software– Designs
• When– Asset is newly created with limited protection– Commercially untested– Where reproduction cost best estimate of value
• Buyer unwilling to pay more than cost to recreate or engineer around protected design
