| IPFC is
an independent consulting firm that provides corporate, individual,
and law firm clients with financial assessments of intellectual
property and other assets.
Intellectual Property
often makes up a significant part of a company's
or individual's asset portfolio. Assessing
the proper values of these assets is challenging
and may be necessary for sales, acquisitions, licensing,
or disputes involving claims of infringement or other
wrongful actions. Our analyses have included market
and pricing assessments, product line profitability
assessments, lost profit and reasonable royalty determinations,
and licensing compliance. We have been involved in
several high profile intellectual property infringement
matters, including Texas Instruments v. Hyundai,
Yahoo/Overture v. Google, Eolas Technologies and
The University of California v. Microsoft, and Exxon
v. Mobil.
Financial evaluations
are often necessary as companies and individuals assess alternative
strategies to pursue. They may not have the experience or
resources to evaluate sales, acquisitions, settlement proposals,
or contract performance. We have provided financial consulting
services to participants in a wide variety of industries,
including consumer products, computer hardware and software,
electronics, Internet, medical products, oil and gas, petrochemicals,
semiconductors, and telecommunications.
Consulting means
different things to different people. Our firm was founded
on the premise that experienced personnel interfacing with
key company personnel and industry participants leads to
successful results. Our consultants generally average more
than 10 years of experience with public accounting and consulting
firms serving large multinational and closely held corporations,
individuals, and educational institutions. We offer a focused,
hands-on approach that results in an efficient process. Whether
we are researching industry information, analyzing complex
electronic databases, developing intricate financial models,
or presenting our analyses to corporate management or in
court proceedings — we are there to meet your needs — effectively. |
