Unlocking value through Intellectual Property
Brantsandpatents is honored to invite you to an exclusive seminar, focusing on the integral role of Intellectual Property (IP) in venture capital & private equity investments.
The crucial role of intellectual property (IP) assets in supporting many of today's companies is widely recognized. When effectively managed, IP, which includes patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights, can be a source of profit and provide significant returns for owners, compared to other asset types.
Currently, IP assets seem to be providing more value to companies than any other assets. In 1975, only 17 percent of the market value of S&P 500 companies came from intangible assets; by 2010, this number had risen to 80 percent. According to Ocean Tomo, the implied intangible asset value of the S&P 500 was 90 percent by July 2020. This trend holds for the S&P Europe 350 index as well, albeit to a lesser extent, with an increase from 71% in 2015 to 74% in 2020.
In this seminar, we will explore the impact of good IP due diligence on the valuation of investments. You will gain insights into how a robust IP strategy can shield investments from legal and financial adversities, and how a sound IP strategy may help establish and enhance partnerships and collaborations for your portfolio companies.
