A BROAD RANGE OF VALUATION ASSIGNMENTS

As the only independent firm specializing only in intellectual property and intangible assets, valuation is a core practice area for CONSOR. For more than 20 years, we have been valuing the full entire spectrum of intangible assets and IP for clients as diverse as IBM, the Estate of Dr. Seuss, Xerox, and Amazon.com. Typical of these assignments are the following:

  • For a global software giant we were engaged to value the assets contained within a group of online copyrighted visual materials. The purpose of the assignment was to arrive at a value for mediation
