Valuation of intangible assets

Intangible assets are fixed assets used in production of goods and services. They have no physical properties and represent legal rights or competitive advantages (package of rights) developed or acquired by the owner.

To be valuable, intangible assets must generate some measurable amount of economic benefit to its owner as additional turnover or profit.

Their valuation is determined by a certified appraiser of intellectual and industrial property rights and includes a set of actions to identify and analyze various factors influencing the value – physical, economic, social and others.
