Time:
12:00 - 1:30 p.m.

Speaker:
John Jarosz, Managing Principal, The Analysis Group

Title:
Valuing and Pricing IP for Licensing and Litigation

Mr. Jarosz will discuss methods to determine the value of IP and the price at which it will be shared in a licensing deal and in a litigation context. He will explain that a negotiated price is often lower than its intrinsic value, and differs across licensees and across settings. Mr. Jarosz will describe the three broad methods by which licensed IP is valued, the various forms of each of those valuation methods, the strengths and weaknesses of each form and the licensing and litigation settings in which each of the valuation tools is most appropriate. Mr. Jarosz will then describe and evaluate four tools that can be used in determining the ultimate price at which IP should be shared in a licensing deal and in a litigation. Those tools have varying forms of sophistication and provide varying forms of assistance in closing a deal.
