Intellectual property valuation estimates the economic value of trademarks, patents, copyrights, designs and trade secrets using cost, market and income approaches, with the relief-from-royalty method common for brands. Valuations are used in mergers and acquisitions, licensing, IP transfers between group companies, fundraising, collateral and disputes, and should be done by qualified valuers.
