LES members are interested in the commercialisation of intellectual property and intellectual assets. That leads to involvement in valuation of this kind of intangible, but very important, property.

LES often has meetings in which valuation issues are discussed and there are articles on the subject in LESI publications.

As of December 2019 we will be launching an IP Valuation Committee to work with the LESI Valuation Committee on valuation issues of interest to LES members.  Members are welcome to get involved in that initiative.

There is a detailed discussion of Valuation on the web site of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) here.

The UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) also provides basic information on valuing intellectual property here.
