Valuation and pricing of technology-based intellectual property - Richard Razgaitis

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 the buyer’s and seller’s points of view? These are the compelling questions that confront developers of cutting–edge technologies years before those technologies will reach the marketplace. In Valuation and Pricing of Technology–Based Intellectual Property, Richard Razgaitis offers complete coverage of the issues, methods, and art of valuing and pricing "early–stage" technologies.

Razgaitis draws upon over thirty years of experience in developing technology–based intellectual property to thoroughly examine this volatile process from all angles. He presents six proven valuation methods, and a series of case studies that show them in action. Topics covered include:

• Paradigm licensing


• Stacking


• Stage development


• Rate–of–return available for different risks


• Using real options

Valuation and Pricing of Technology–Based Intellectual Property will be an essential addition to any licenser’s, developer’s, or IP lawyer’s professional library.
