Appraisal of intellectual property portfolio

A nonprofit organization retained CRA to appraise a portfolio of intellectual property, including domain names, for purposes of a possible contribution to a joint venture with a third party. CRA professionals provided a range of potential values and a detailed sensitivity analysis that was used during the negotiation process. As a result of CRA’s valuation analyses, the nonprofit organization was able to secure a significant equity position in the joint venture resulting from the contribution of the intellectual property.
