The proprietary data controlled by CONSOR related to intellectual property valuation is unmatched. For more than two decades, the firm has been accumulating and organizing information and data related to trademarks, patents and copyrights and the royalty rates, values and transaction prices of those assets. Both current and historical data is available not only from our private resources, but also from public databases. Whether establishing royalty rates for trademarks, patents, domain names, copyrights, artwork, character or other intellectual property, or whether establishing value for these same assets, CONSOR provides the research and data necessary. We reach into a variety of sources to establish marketplace royalty rates and comparable values, including:

• Our proprietary index of more than 13,000 transactions
• Public document research on royalty rates and intellectual property valuation and transaction values
• Access to professional intellectual property associations and their data resources
• Data collection from linkage and affiliations
• The years of knowledge and experience provided by our expert staff in the fields of brand, copyright, trademark and patent valuation and licensing

As intellectual property experts, our goal is to identify the fairest and most realistic method to calculate value. We believe that value must be based on market conditions, and any valuation should adapt itself to today’s global and economic realities. It is also important that valuation methods are responsive to the rapidly changing environment in many industries. CONSOR is dedicated to helping clients establish and build the value of their intellectual property and intangible asset base, while minimizing risk and uncertainty.
