Abstract

To valuate intellectual assets in a portfolio, a corresponding group of parameters is associated with each of the intellectual assets. Weights are associated with the parameters of each of the groups. Based on a predetermined value of a single one of the intellectual assets or of a collection of the intellectual assets, corresponding values of the intellectual assets are computed using the weights associated with the parameters of the corresponding groups.
