Intangible assets valuation, professional independent valuation of intellectual property

Intangible assets are the ones that have value but have no physical substance. These assets are used for business purposes and are able to bring profit.

Swiss Appraisal divides intangible asset valuation into four groups:

• Property rights (the right to use on the basis of license agreements: property, land, water, other natural resources, mineral resources, etc.)
• Information, which is a trade secret (not subject to patent protection, design, engineering and technological documentation, the results of research and development work, know-how)
• Objects of copyright and related rights (software, databases and topology circuits, science, literature, music, painting and other art forms)
• Industrial property (certificate of service marks, certificates for trademarks, patents, industrial design, patents for selection achievements, patents for inventions)

In the case of large companies and popular trademarks, the proportion intangible assets to tangible ones may exceed 50% of the total value. That is why their valuation is critically important.
