OTT Contributes a Book Chapter on Transfer and Valuation of Technology
OTT has contributed a chapter to Taxation and Valuation of Technology: Theory, Practice, and the Law, published by Irwin Law Inc. The chapter may be viewed at the OTT website at "Transfer and Valuation of Biomedical Intellectual Property."
The chapter describes various approaches to valuation and transfer of intellectual property . Because the process of valuing very early stage technologies is more an art than a science, the objective here is not to enter deeply into the mathematical details -- only brief exposures of the most used methods are presented. Instead, a mosaic of information, sources, and actual cases are provided to the reader -- as examples in the realm of biomedical technology -- in the context of the interplay between government, academic, and commercial players necessary to bring products to the market.
