The growth in the economic importance of intellectual property has been accompanied by an increase in the need for credible and supportable IP valuations.  This presentation will address some frequently-encountered purposes for IP valuation, and explain key valuation terms and concepts.  A hypothetical case example will be used to illustrate a variety of valuation approaches and methods.  The potential use of independent appraisers will also be discussed in the context of various IP valuation scenarios.
