The value of a patent, a brand or a data asset is rarely a single number. It depends on the purpose of the valuation, the evidence available and who will test it. VA Partners values intellectual property and other intangible assets for disputes, financing and transactions, where a court, a tribunal, a lender or a tax authority will scrutinise the result.

We apply income, market and cost approaches, including relief from royalty, excess earnings and comparable licences. In infringement and contract disputes before the IP court and in arbitration, we quantify reasonable royalties, lost profits and unjust enrichment. We value IP pledged as collateral for lenders and IP owners, and intangibles in purchase price allocation and transfer pricing disputes.

Our team works alongside IP law firms, and brings econometric and data science methods to the valuation of technology and data assets.
