How to evaluate  intellectual property

As its name implies intellectual property is an intangible asset, created by human beings. The patent has monetary value. The monetary value is measured according to a number of diverse and complex criteria that ultimately determine the value of the patent. Bottom line the final value of the patent is determined by the market price and the valuation of the patent is an art in itself. A patent that surely huge companies in the world are clearly infringing is of great monetary value. Adv. Naftali Levy was involved in one of the largest patent transactions in Israeli high-tech in recent years while negotiating with the Israeli Innovation Authority  (רשות החדשנות). In addition, Naftali advised companies and inventors on the sale of patents. 

In recent years the value of intellectual property has risen significantly. intellectual property has caused the emergence of new players, which include companies that specialize in acquiring patents and other intellectual property rights for the purpose of licensing others or using them to enforce rights and reap the rewards in this way. Moreover, instead of or in addition to self-development efforts, there is a growing trend of technology developers to acquire patent rights and make business use of them. An outgrowth of these is that intellectual property in general and patents in particular have become, among other things, a commodity passed to the merchant. International trade in these assets, including the sale or licensing, has grown to very significant proportions.

Utilizing the added value that intellectual property gives to an entrepreneur or inventor requires an understanding of technology and proper planning of intellectual property protection in all its aspects in a broad way that will make it possible to exhaust all possibilities for future royalties and avoid risks of loss and exploitation of knowledge. It is important to understand, for example, in whose name the patent was  registered, how to formulate the patent application, whether to file one or several different applications, how to draft the license agreement for the use of patented technology or brand and more.

The deep understanding in the technological fields along with the understanding of the business environment made us leading consultants in this field. We have conducted transactions based on intellectual property agreements between purchasers, sellers, licensees and licensors in Israel and abroad to various extents.
