Valuation of Technical Know-How:
Valuing technical know-how is a critical component of the technology transfer process. It enables stakeholders to determine a fair price, define payment terms, and establish optimal conditions for transferring the technology to beneficiary companies.
The key applications of technology valuation include:
Mergers and acquisitions
Technology transfer negotiations and contractual agreements
Financing and collateralization of technology assets
Commercialization and licensing of technologies
Economic decision-making regarding technology maintenance, development, or disposal
Cost-benefit analysis of technology utilization
Currently, there is no universally accepted formula or standard methodology for valuing technical know-how or technology. However, various approaches exist that incorporate influencing variables and provide practical frameworks. These methods typically fall into categories such as cost-based, income-based, and market-based valuation.
In practice, numerous factors influence the valuation of technical know-how, such as market readiness, regulatory environment, scalability, and the competitive landscape. Nevertheless, the final valuation often emerges through negotiation and is heavily influenced by the bargaining power and negotiation skills of the involved parties.
