Intellectual Property (IP) is one of the most important assets in any innovation-driven organisation. BBF’s IP Valuation services help companies, startups, and research teams determine the true commercial and strategic value of their intellectual assets. Our approach blends qualitative analysis, technical understanding, and market-driven assessment to provide an accurate and actionable valuation.

BBF begins by understanding the nature of the IP—whether it is a patent, trademark, design, software codebase, process innovation, or research output. We examine the technology depth, novelty, scope of application, and competitive advantage the IP provides. Our methodology integrates industry standards, economic principles, and real-world commercialisation insights.

 

What Our IP Valuation Covers

• Technical Assessment: Understanding the uniqueness, complexity, and feasibility of the IP.

• Legal Review: Assessing claim strength, freedom-to-operate, and enforceability.

• Market Opportunity Analysis: Evaluating market demand, industry trends, and potential adopters.

• Competitive Landscape Mapping: Identifying competing technologies and differentiation factors.

• Commercial Potential Estimation: Projecting licensing opportunities, revenue potential, and future scalability.

• Risk Assessment: Examining uncertainties, validity threats, and technological barriers.

• Valuation Methods: Employing cost-based, market-based, and income-based valuation models.

 

Our Approach

• Data Collection: Gathering technical documents, prior art, market data, and financial inputs.

• Scenario Analysis: Comparing different commercialisation pathways—licensing, selling, internal scaling.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Working with inventors, R&D teams, and business leaders for clarity.

• Structured Valuation Modelling: Using industry-standard tools to derive fair and defensible valuation ranges.

• Final Documentation: Preparing comprehensive valuation reports for investors, legal teams, or regulatory bodies.
