Patent Valuation

Connecting Patents and Technology Assets to Financial Performance

Patents and other technology assets are often key drivers of financial performance for both owners and licensees of such assets. The value of a patent, patent portfolio, or set of technology assets depends on the breadth and depth of the underlying technology, and on the current and future use of the technology.

Nevium’s specialized approach to patent valuation leverages a deep understanding of a patent’s technology to accurately quantify the contribution to financial performance facilitated by that technology. Once Nevium determines the metes and bounds of the technology rights provided by a patent, the patent’s worth can be derived from the present value of future economic benefits facilitated by those rights. Such economic benefits might include increased sales volume, price premiums, and/or cost savings.

Patent Valuation and Advisory Services from Nevium

Nevium integrates industry recognized methods into our visionary IP valuation approach to provide defensible and accurate patent valuation that identify how patent assets impact financial performance. Our analysis begins with a thorough technical investigation of patented and other proprietary technologies to understand the scope and specific applications of a company’s technology assets. Such investigations are often performed by a technology expert who is both a patent agent and accredited appraiser. The resulting detailed understanding of the technology assets allows us to more accurately determine the relative contribution of these assets and the company’s other intellectual properties and intangible assets to revenues, expenses, earnings and cash flow.

We work with management to identify strategies to increase the value of individual technology assets and the overall value of the business. Our valuation reports are intended for use as tool to increase profits. Our goal is to enable our clients to leverage their patents and proprietary technology assets to improve financial performance by:

  • selling additional products;
  • selling products at a higher price;
