Brand Valuation
Since the middle of the 1990s, the need to establish dollar valuations for Intellectual Capital Assets has driven the development of a handful of valuation methods. Essentially, there are four approaches to valuing a Brand, and one or more of them may be applicable in any individual instance. Of the intangible intellectual capital assets that exist in the world, brands are often considered to be the most valuable, followed by intellectual property and in particular patents.

But today, under the influence of globalization, environmental crises, and widespread ethical breakdown there is pressure to identify and report new, non-traditional, and “non-financial” measures of performance to get at newly recognized dimensions of enterprise value, success, and significance. These new demands emerge from a belief that social, environmental, ethical, and geopolitical factors materially impact the ability of a company or enterprise to perform favorably.
As the knowledge-based economy expands, the companies and individuals that possess intangible intellectual assets, such as intellectual property, will need specialized expertise, strategic thinking, legal experience, and the wisdom necessary to manage intellectual assets.
