Spory dotyczące własności intelektualnej

Intellectual property valuations have been carried out by American Appraisal for around 30 years. The range of assets we have valued include brands, trademarks, patents, copyrights, software, technology, customer contracts, customer relationships, databases, clients lists and research and development assets.

Valuations are performed for various purposes including litigation, financial reporting, transactions, strategy and transfer pricing. For litigation purposes, we assist clients in evaluating the actual or potential losses in disputes concerning the exploitation and protection of intellectual property rights.

Our specialism and advice is also regularly used by owners of intellectual property who wish to monetize their asset, either by entering into exclusive or non-exclusive license arrangements or through an outright sale. We perform valuations of the intellectual property involved and provide ongoing advice to clients regarding the most appropriate way in which to monetize their intellectual property.

Intellectual property valuations are increasingly required in financial reporting under the US standards, SFAS 141 and 142 and the new international standards, IFRS 3 and IAS 38. These standards require purchased goodwill to be allocated between the identifiable intangible assets which usually include a wide range of intellectual property.

American Appraisal has extensive experience of undertaking valuations of brands, trademarks, software and other intellectual property and is regularly recommended by 'Big 4' audit firms where independence rules prohibit their involvement.
