Will IP be central to your deal?
Intellectual Property may be one of your most valuable
business assets. Several recent transactions illustrate the point. Blackberry, now defunct,
just sold its’ patents in a $600 million deal. The most valuable asset in IBM’s
Watson sale was the company’s trove of healthcare
information. Gilead has agreed to pay more than $1 billion to settle
patent infringement litigation.
The experts at Asterion understand the financial
implications of IP from multiple perspectives, among them, valuation, financial
strategy, and licensing. If you have a financial question about your IP,
