Our Patent Valuation Process
Patent valuation is a complex process that considers various factors beyond simply the innovation itself. At D.H. Glasson, we employ a multi-faceted approach, including the following key components:
- Technical Analysis: We assess the uniqueness, novelty, and scope of the patent’s claims.
- Market Potential: Evaluation of the market size, growth projections, and commercial applicability of the patented technology.
- Legal Strength: Assessment of the strength of patent protection, including geographical scope and duration.
- Revenue Generation: Historical and future revenue streams directly attributable to the patent, including product sales, licensing agreements, and sublicenses.
- Cost Savings: The patent’s ability to generate cost reductions or competitive advantages in the market.
- Comparable Transactions: Benchmarking against recent licensing deals, royalty rates, and acquisitions involving similar technologies.
Our valuation team provides a rigorous and well-documented report that delivers a clear picture of the patent’s financial value.
When Should You Consider a Patent Valuation?
Patent valuation is essential in numerous business contexts. Common scenarios include:
- Licensing & Royalties: Understand fair royalty rates for licensing agreements and negotiations.
- Mergers & Acquisitions: Determine the value of patent portfolios when buying or selling a company.
- Litigation & Infringement: Provide a solid valuation for litigation involving patent infringement, damages claims, or disputes.
- Tax & Transfer Pricing: Use patent valuation for tax reporting, R&D credits, or transfer pricing strategies.

How Do We Value Patents?
Our team employs various valuation methods to ensure a comprehensive view of your patent’s worth:
- Income Approach:
We forecast future cash flows generated by the patent, such as royalties or cost savings, and discount them to present value. - Market Approach:
By analyzing comparable patent transactions (licensing deals, acquisitions, etc.), we determine how similar patents have been valued in the market. - Cost Approach:
We estimate the cost to reproduce or replace the patented technology, accounting for research and development (R&D) expenses and related costs.
These methods are adjusted for factors such as patent lifespan, competitive advantage, technological risks, and the legal environment to provide a complete and accurate assessment.
