Synopsis

Companies dependent on intellectual property are forced to decide which products they will develop years before the products would ever go to the market. This often occurs where there is no pre-existing history and no way for them to determine if the technology fits in with their other core product strengths. a guide to technology risk management, valuation, and pricing, and helped to identify key early-stage technologies and determine the value to their company. Offering backgrounds in the core concepts, sources of value, methods of valuation, equity realisations, and negotiation strategies, this text provides the six key methods of valuing technology: use of industry standards, ratings/ranking methods, rules of thumb, discounted cash flow, the Monte Carlo method, and auctions. Written by an expert with diverse experience in developing, valuing and licensing intellectual property, it draws on the expertise of those on the front lines of technology licensing, and gives case studies and techniques based on the author's real-world experience.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Comprehensive coverage of the issues, methods, and art of valuing and pricing early–stage technologies To develop or not to develop; to license or not to license; what price will be a true reflection of the product′s value from both the buyer′s and seller′s point of view? These questions are crucial to companies dependent on intellectual property–particularly technology companies, universities, and biotech companies. The risks associated with early–stage technology are high, and decisions must often be made years before any potential product will reach the market. In Early–Stage Technologies: Valuation and Pricing, Richard Razgaitis presents TR–R–A–DE(TM), a comprehensive approach to determining the future of new technologies based on technology rights, risk assignment, the art of deal–making, and deal economics. He considers the key components involved in a licensing transaction, offers a detailed presentation of six valuation methods for intellectual property, examines risk in both quantitative and qualitative terms, and explores the negotiation strategy and structuring of agreements that are the keys to the art of technology rights deal–making. Early–Stage Technologies is an indispensable tool for anyone involved in the development, valuation, and licensing of intellectual property, the most valuable resource and driving force of the information age.
