IP Valuation, Transactions & Strategy

Over the past two decades, CRA has performed thousands of IP and intangible asset valuations for strategic, tax, financial reporting, and litigation purposes. Our valuations are presented in a manner most appropriate to our clients’ audience and goal. Corporations, law firms, and debt and equity holders turn to CRA’s experts when they require IP valuation models to support business decisions as well as IP valuation reports and testimony that can meet regulatory or court scrutiny. We consider all applicable valuation approaches and advanced analytical tools such as decision trees and Monte Carlo simulations.

Clients rely on CRA’s financial expertise, transactional experience, and IP litigation background to assist in executing all types of IP-rich transactions, including M&A, JVs, licensing, and purchase/sale of IP assets. CRA has a proven track record supporting all phases of the transaction life cycle, from opportunity identification to post-transaction licensing compliance audits. CRA provides both “buy side” valuation and due diligence services, as well as turnkey marketing and execution of “sell side” transactions. Our secure and proprietary auctions platform facilitates buyer due diligence and provides a structured sale process to maximize the selling price of IP assets.

CRA consultants provides IP managers, business leaders, investors, and boards with objective, fact-based advice regarding IP strategy, risks, and opportunities. Our strategic IP audits and best practices reviews help align IP strategy with overall corporate strategy. We deliver practical advice and help clients implement strategies that maximize IP-value for all stakeholders, including establishing IP management and licensing functions, executing IP-rich transactions, IP portfolio management, and competitive intelligence and benchmarking.
