Fields of Use 

A field of use is a specific application, industry, product line, or geography for the invention



Each field of use may be developed, licensed, and/or marketed separately



Each field of use must be valued separately

Present Discounted Value 



Intuitively: A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow, and discounting makes you indifferent between revenue in future and PDV of revenue today Discounting accounts for   

Time Value of Money: Interest rate and/or opportunity cost (return on other projects) Technology Risks: Will the invention yield a viable product? Marketing Risks: Will there be demand for the product at a profitable price?

www.QuantAA.com

11

Present Discounted Value (cont.) 

PDV is calculated by applying discount factors to future revenue streams



Discount factors are “weights” for future $ relative to initial period $  Weights

decrease with time

 Weights

decrease with risk (discount rate)

Profit If Successful Valuation Methods 

Cost-Based Approach: Cost of reproducing/replacing technology



Market-Based Approach: Price of similar technologies



Economic Analysis: PDV of future profit streams www.QuantAA.com

21

Cost-Based Approach (Cost of reproducing technology) 

Useful for determining whether to develop in-house or license



Helps to put bounds on amount willing to pay or receive for license



Does not account for market demand

www.QuantAA.com

22

Market-Based Approach (Price of similar technologies) 

Requires  existence

of a market for comparables  with open knowledge of terms of sale  and willing parties to the negotiations 

Adjustments for comparability often subject to dispute  See

Economic Factors for determination of adjustments for comparability www.QuantAA.com

Economic Analysis (PDV of future profit streams) 

Maximization of IP Value  Capture  Rank

all fields of use

applications by profitability

 Rank

applications by probability of success

 Consider

who is most suited to exploit each application
