IP ValuationService Tiers
An Expert-Based Solution for Each Financial Patent Valuation Need
When it comes to IP valuations, GHB Intellect offers tiered Financial Valuation Services. These tiers are designed with different purposes in mind, so that our clients may select a tier appropriate for their requirements. The lower tiers are budget-friendly, high-level valuation services that are geared mainly for internal business and strategy planning. The higher tiers, on the other hand, are designed to provide detailed and defensible analyses suitable not only for internal business use, but also for presentation and negotiation with third parties (investors, partners, acquirers, etc.).
The valuation tiers are described and compared below. Note that all valuation service tiers include a complementary technical evaluation performed by one or more of our highly specialized experts in the relevant field(s).
