This weblog is born of a genuine need for reliable and accurate information to be identified, made available and discussed within the intellectual property community. At present, while everyone agrees that much IP is hugely valuable, it is quite clear that the IP community is floating helplessly on a sea of uncertainty, at the mercy of those whose other disciplines better equip them to appreciate the monetary side of IP rights. That is why this blog will post information concerning at least the following topics:
* the securitisation of IP;
* how and for what purposes IP rights are valued;
* how damage to the value of an IP right, or to the value of a business based on that right, should be assessed;
* R&D and product development finance.
