MyPatent has developed a Free Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) IP Valuation Tool that discounts anticipated royalty streams (otherwise known as the relief from royalty methodology where one values the IP in one’s own hands)

Please note that MyPatent does not guarantee:

Before conducting a valuation, we suggest that you visit the Library (posted on the Sibanda & Zantwijk website) for discussions on various alternative methodologies and common mistakes.

You are free to use this Valuation Tool at your own risk without reliance on any representations by MyPatent. You agree not to communicate or give the impression that the resulting value has been endorsed in any way by MyPatent, Intangible Consulting (Pty) Ltd or Sibanda & Zantwijk Patent Attorneys.

This is a basic valuation model, based on a comprehensive, proprietary valuation model developed by Sibanda & Zantwijk. Please note that various additional features contained in the S&Z proprietary model have been deactivated.

Use of this model is subject to the disclaimer available at www.mypatent.co.za.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VALUATION TOOL CONTAINS A MACRO FOR RESETING VALUES. YOU MAY CHOOSE EITHER TO ENABLE OR DISABLE THE MACRO WITHOUT EFFECTING THE OPERATION OF THE MODEL
