Strategy Based on IP Valuation

As IP valuation experts, Nevium develops IP Strategies based on IP valuation tools. We calculate and communicate how patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and brands contribute to financial performance. Nevium's IP Strategy services focus on translating how IP and intangibles impact the company's bottom line, enabling IP owners and managers to identify and develop business strategies that leverage the company's proprietary assets and enhance financial performance.

IP strategies can include leveraging brands and trademarks to access new markets or new territories, leveraging patents and proprietary technologies to optimize product pricing, and mapping IP portfolios to identify acquisition and divestiture opportunities. A thorough valuation-based review of an IP portfolio often uncovers opportunities to maximize capital investments and identifies business risks.

Using IP Valuation

Valuation of IP assets provides a benchmark and metric allowing Boards, IP Owners, Executives and In-house IP managers to demonstrate how and where their IP is making a difference. In other words, how their IP is influencing profits, impacting enterprise valuation and creating growth opportunities.

Nevium's IP valuation clients gain a deeper understanding of their IP portfolios, quantify how their IP is contributing to financial performance and know which assets are being leveraged to drive growth and greater valuations.

Our valuation clients often realize some IP assets are contributing more than previously thought, while other asset groups are not generating expected returns and could be leveraged in other ways. We have identified assets that are key to financial performance that lacked sufficient legal protection and identified opportunities to sell or license other assets.

Nevium's Valuation Tool Kit

Nevium's valuation toolkit features a range of IP valuation tools, including our apportionment matrix and profit apportionment valuation model. The apportionment analysis is a four-step process that includes a business' enterprise valuation, identification and grouping of key IP assets, a valuation of each of the business' primary revenue-generating activities and a valuation of each identified asset bundle. Our valuation reports provide a multi-level view of the activities and assets driving the overall value of the organization.

Our valuation analyses are supported by industry and market research and valuation benchmarks. Our reports and presentations are designed to inform, communicate and provide new insights for business owners, executives and managers.
