The Handbook of Business Valuation and Intellectual Property Analysis

Adam Smith's three sources of wealth creation-land, labor, and capital-have long been the factors that determine what a business is worth. Over the past few decades, however, a fourth factor, intellectual capital, has become increasingly important, yet difficult to quantify in the valuation equation.
The Handbook of Business Valuation and Intellectual Property Analysis features the contributions of experts from leading valuation, accounting, investment banking, and law firms, and provides a comprehensive review of contemporary valuation issues related to businesses, securities, and intellectual property. Topics explored in this important book include:
Business Valuation Technical Topics
Business Valuation Special Applications
Advanced Business Valuation Issues
Intellectual Property Valuation Issues
Intellectual Property Transfer Price Analysis Issues
Intellectual Property
Economic Damages Issues
Accurate valuation, damages, and transfer price conclusions don't have to be a shot-in-the-dark proposition. The Handbook of Business Valuation and Intellectual Property Analysis presents valuation, damages, and transfer price analyses in a way that is clear, convincing, and cogent for practitioners at every level.
Estimating business, security, and intellectual property values is increasingly difficult in today's transformed economy. From employee stock options to intellectual property license agreements, analysts, investors, accountants, lawyers, and regulators must understand complex new factors and confront important new challenges. In addition, governmental and regulatory changes combine with recent judicial precedent to impact both the theory and practice of valuation.
