  1. TOP 5 MISTAKES TO AVOID IN IP VALUATION

  2. INTRODUCTION Intellectual Property (IP) is one of the most valuable assets a company can own. However, accurately valuing IP is often complex and prone to critical errors that can lead to poor business decisions. Whether you're a startup seeking investors or an established company involved in M&A, here are the top 5 mistakes to avoid in IP valuation:

  3. Not all IP is created equal. A patent with weak enforceability or a trademark facing opposition can significantly reduce value. Failing to assess legal validity, scope of protection, or freedom to operate can lead to overvaluation and false expectations.

  4. 7000 6000 5000 Many IP valuations are based on future income projections. If these projections are overly optimistic or not grounded in market data, the valuation becomes inflated. It's crucial to align IP value with realistic market size, competition, and adoption rates. 4000 3000 2000 1000 0 2021 2022 2023

  5. All IP has a finite life. A common mistake is ignoring the remaining useful life of a patent or assuming perpetual returns from a technology that may soon be outdated. Always consider the stage of the IP lifecycle and any risks of obsolescence.

  6. Different valuation methods—cost-based, market-based, or income-based—yield different outcomes. Applying the wrong method, or using one in isolation, can distort the valuation. A hybrid or comparative approach often yields more reliable results.

  7. IP doesn't exist in a vacuum. Ignoring the competitive landscape or how similar IP is valued in the industry can skew results. Benchmarking and understanding market positioning are essential to ensure a credible valuation.

  8. IP valuation is as much an art as it is a science. By avoiding these common pitfalls, companies can make more informed decisions, attract the right investors, and unlock the true potential of their intangible assets.
