IP Valuation & Dispute
At Adapt IP, our professionals have a vast breadth and depth of experience in valuing IP. Specifically, our team has assisted clients in determining the value of their IP for buy-side / sell-side strategic transactions, IP licensing transactions, due diligence, litigation risk analysis, and general strategic purposes.
From an IP advisory and research perspective, our clients will gain a better understanding of the value drivers of their patent portfolio to improve decision-making processes. Typical investigations are centered around understanding critical trends surrounding publication, assignees, key inventors and technology focus. From a market perspective, our clients will better understand the economics of relevant licensing agreements (either strategic licensing arrangements or those resulting from legal settlements), adjacent markets and recent merger/acquisition activity.
Adapt IP will provide research and advisory services on a project-by-project basis or on a recurring basis with periodic updates to the initial report. Also, our research and advisory services will be utilized during the patent brokerage process, should the client decide to market its patents for sale or license.
