IP Asset Valuation in Technology Licensing
Intellectual property valuations require sophisticated modeling to account for multiple value drivers - from technical merit and market applicability to legal strength and commercialization potential. Current methodologies struggle to capture the complex interplay between citation networks, technology lifecycles, and market dynamics that determine a patent's true worth.
The fundamental challenge lies in developing objective, reproducible valuation frameworks that can account for both quantitative metrics and qualitative factors while remaining responsive to rapid technological change.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including machine learning approaches that leverage comprehensive data layers, blockchain-based platforms that provide transparent valuations, regression models built on specification characteristics, and systems that incorporate dynamic market indicators. These and other approaches aim to bring greater standardization and reliability to IP valuation while maintaining flexibility for different technology domains.
