IP Transactions Solution Suite
QUESTIONS ANSWERED IN THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS SOLUTION SUITE help clients fully leverage and monetize their IP assets and to best expoit - or avoid - the patent portfolios associated with global partners, competitors, standards bodies and patent pools.
Freedom to Operate & Infringement Analysis
How can we confirm the freedom to operate or, how can we prove that patents are being infringed?
Perception Partners uses proprietary analytics paired with 300+ full time practicing subject matter experts to exhaustively and comprehensively compare commercialized technology with patent claims to assess freedom to operate, product clearance and infringement issues for clients.
We analyze potential direct infringement, induced infringement and contributory infringement. The evidence we collect is typically used to bolster legal analysis, predict the outcome of litigation, build patent pools that read on technical standards or cultivate portfolios for patent licensing and enforcement companies.
Our typical assessment of freedom to operate and infringement issues covers global patents, technical literature, conference proceedings, speeches, editorials, "gray literature", technical standards, books, news and other sources. Our work is often less expensive and more timely than manual review of counsel in producing invalidating or workaround evidence.
IP Valuation & Patent Damages Assessment
What is the fair value of IP or intangibles in licensing, sale, disposition or transfer, and how can we execute a successful plan for value extraction?
Valuations from Perception Partners are designed for transaction support, damages assessment, dispute resolution and investment thesis development. We value primarily patents and technology, but of course contemplate and assess related trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, brands, software and other intangibles.
Our goal is to value assets in the context of specific opportunities and then provide sensitivity analysis around the narrowest possible range. We use cost approach, market approach, income approach, real options, monte carlo and other valuation methods as appropriate.
Detailed assumptions are clearly highlighted and may be altered on demand to test and validate situational changes. Our services are performed by a wide variety of credentialed experts, several with years of experience in valuation and related testimony to pertinent authorities, such as the courts and the IRS.
