Expert intellectual property valuation

Expert valuation of intellectual property objects and intangible assets.

“ALLIANCE-UKREXPERT” also provides valuation services for intellectual property objects, property and corporate rights, and intangible assets.

In accordance with National Standard No. 4, property rights to the following intellectual property objects are subject to valuation:

• literary and artistic works;
• computer programs;
• databases;
• works;
• phonograms, videograms, broadcasts (programs) of broadcasting organizations;
• inventions, utility models, industrial designs;
• layouts (topographies) of integrated circuits;
• rationalization proposals;
• plant varieties and animal breeds;
• commercial (trade) names, trademarks (marks for goods and services), geographical indications;
• other objects classified as intellectual property rights under current legislation.

“ALLIANCE-UKREXPERT” performs valuations for taxation purposes and payment of other mandatory fees, which are subsequently required for submission to a notary during property transfer transactions (purchase and sale, gifting, inheritance, etc.) in accordance with Article 172 of the Tax Code of Ukraine.

A specific feature of independent valuation of intangible assets (intellectual property rights) is the almost complete absence of a comparable market for such property, which makes the comparative approach difficult to apply.

The most common intangible assets subject to valuation include:

• trademark (brand);
• computer software and databases;
• patents;
• licenses;
• inventions;
• utility models;
• industrial designs;
• trade secrets (know-how);
• business reputation (goodwill);
• other intangible assets.
