Today,
the
“Not
Invented
Here”
syndrome
is
something
of
the
past,
as
more
and
more
companies
have
realized
that
they
cannot
develop
everything
they
need
internally
while
technological
advances
are
made
outside
in
the
meanwhile.
However,
the
transfer
of
innovative
technologies
from
research
institutes
to
commercial
partners
or
from
business
to
business
(B2B)
makes
it
necessary
to
acquire
intellectual property (IP) rights to get access to these technologies.
There
is
a
diversity
of
cash
flows
in
IP
license
agreements
(lump
sums,
upfront
payments,
milestone
payments,
running
royalties,
escalating
royalties,
royalty
floors,
buy-out
options,
…).
At
a
first
glance
this
diversity
may
appear
difficult
to
calculate
but
being
familiar
with
these
multiple
options
dramati
cally
improves
the
efficiency
of
reaching
a
successful
and
sustainable
agreement
in
a
licensing
or
financing
negotiation.
The
financial
valuation
of
IP-rights
is
the
prerequisite
to
manage
this
process
in
an
efficient
way,
to
develop
creative
options
and
to
come
to
the
closing
of
an
agreement
with
attractive
deal
terms
for
both
parties.
At
SciXess
®
we
perform
not
only
technology
valuations;
we
also
provide
long
lasting
and hands on experience in the negotiation of licensing agreements.
IP-rights
are
a
central
area
in
today’s
knowledge
based
industries,
where
techniques,
products,
applications
and
legal
matters
are
mixed
and
patent
valuations
become more and more important.
At
sciXess
®
we
do
not
simply
add
a
price
tag
to
a
patent
by
applying
standard
valuation
techniques.
Although
we
do
also
make
use
of
Discounted
Cash
Flow
analyses
and
Real-Option
methods,
we
strictly
follow
the
rating
principles
when
valuating
technologies
.
According
to
these
principles,
a
technology
rating
always
consists
of
a
qualitative
and
a
quantitative
part.
It
is
sciXess’
strong
conviction
that
only
the
combination
of
both
approaches
has
the
power
to
cover
the
risks
of
technology-based
projects
which
typically
run
through
a
cascade
of
developmental
stages
and
take
a
long
time
before
they
generate
first
revenues
or break even.
Take the right decission
at the right time!
