IP Valuations

Intellectual property valuation is part of the due diligence, the care a reasonable person should take before entering into a transaction, and is a process requiring a unique approach to each unique situation and goal. We assess your goals and scope the project to work with your budget, timing and goal. A wide array of methods to generate economic returns from the IP portfolio with a relatively small investment is available for IP owners. Leveraging the IP assets can generate new revenue streams, strengthen strategic control over profits, and reduce risk.

Cardinal Risk Management offers a full range of analysis and valuation services, from valuation of a single patent to valuation of an entire patent portfolio. Each valuation requires a unique approach, and we will work to address your goals within your budget and timing constraints.
