5. Valuation Methods Cost approach Market approach Income approach

6. Cost Approach The cost approach seeks to measure the future benefits of ownership by quantifying the amount of money that would be required to replace the future service capability of the subject intellectual property. Since intellectual property is generally not sold in the market like tangible assets, we do not have market prices as a starting point in the application of the cost approach.

7. Market Approach The market approach is based on the premise that market transactions of intellectual property indicate value. Market information can be very useful in analyzing and valuing intellectual property, but it seldom is comprehensive enough to provide the basis for a satisfactory conclusion of value on its own.

8. Income Approach The income approach is based on discounted cash flow theory and defines the value of the subject property as the present value of the anticipated net economic benefits to be achieved over the duration of the property’s useful life. The net income of property over its lifetime is used as the approach.
