New Value
Added value through the economic use of brands, patents & know-how
Innovative companies own patents, brands, and know-how – but the value of this intellectual property is often underestimated. Our PATEV experts valuate intangible assets and help to use these values as a tradable resource, for example as a financing instrument or as part of corporate transactions.
Intellectual property as a strategic asset: We show you how!
Expert Opinion
Did you know that patents and other intangible assets account for 30 to 70 % of the company value? We determine the value of trademarks, patents, and know-how according to national and international standards and prepare an independent expert opinion, always in close consultation with legal and tax advisors. This allows our clients to make invisible capital visible and use it in a wide variety of scenarios.
