Valuation and Due Diligence

With an estimated 70% of the value of modern corporations derived from intangible assets it is more important than ever to secure accurate and objective valuations of intellectual assets. This critical information enables organisations and individuals to implement more effective and informed business and investment decisions.

EverEdge IP works with organisations and investors to accurately value key intellectual assets. Our engagements frequently involve valuation requests for:

• transactions – including due diligence and pricing of IP assets for trade sales
• investment – appraisal of technology–focused companies prior to venture funding or corporate finance
• audit – for regulatory, reporting, tax or transfer pricing purposes
• litigation – to assess the impact of infringement and determine damages

Unlike a traditional professional services firm, commercialising intellectual property is our day to day business. We recognise that a meaningful valuation requires a comprehensive understanding of the commercial, legal and technical aspects of the underlying intellectual property. Our strong in-house capabilities in these areas uniquely positions EverEdge IP to provide accurate,objective and relevant valuations of critical intellectual property for our clients.

We are also frequently called on to conduct due diligence on transactions involving technology ventures. A thorough understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of intellectual property is essential when those assets are critical to underlying business success. Many of our clients are technology investors for whom the efficacy of IP underlying their investment targets is critical. In this area our independence from patent attorney and law firms is an important guarantee of an accurate and objective assessment.

We provide our clients with the understanding and information they need to make business–critical decisions with regard to valuable intellectual assets, which increases successful commercialisation outcomes, reduces risk and maximises returns for both inventors and investors.
