Intellectual Property
The valuation of intellectual property assets is one of our core competencies. Micronomics has been active in this area for more than two decades, with experience that includes investigations of high profile patent, trademark, and copyright infringement matters, as well as theft or misappropriation of trade secrets. Engagements in this area have included investigations relating to:
Reasonable royalty analysis
Calculation of lost profits
Calculation of price erosion damages
Competitive issues and market definition
Commercial success
Convoyed sales
Royalty audits
Standard setting
Our efforts have included numerous engagements involving telecommunications, semiconductors, software, medical products and pharmaceuticals. We have assembled an extensive library of industry trade press, analyst reports and scientific investigations. We are able to turn to and draw upon these materials as appropriate in our work.
Our staff also is practiced in the economic and financial valuation techniques required to properly assess the value of specific intellectual property assets. These capabilities, together with our experienced understanding of the governing legal and institutional framework, enable us to provide valuable consulting support to companies engaged in complex patent litigation or licensing negotiations even when intellectual property management is complicated by the need to cross license technology owned by others or predict the useful life of a technology.
