Intellectual Property Investment Banking:   Inflexion Point’s IP investment banking model is based on
the premise that IP is no longer viewed merely as a bundle of legal rights to be enforced or licensed.  
IP is now viewed as a commercial asset class like real property or corporate securities.  This change
in perception has opened up a range of “monetization” opportunities based on adaptation of the
models that have been used with more traditional asset classes.
Value Proposition:  It’s widely recognized that
upwards of 70% of the market value of technology
companies is in the form of intangible assets.  Most
of this is “intellectual capital” which includes both
intellectual property rights such as patents,
trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, and less
well-defined assets such as customer loyalty, inter-
company relationships, and undocumented know-
how, and patentable inventions in the minds of
employees.

Our experience is that many companies pay too little
attention to the IP-related components of corporate
value because IP is generally viewed as too abstract,
complex, and unquantifiable to be included in the
value calculus involved in business transactions.  

We disagree.  In a knowledge-based economy,
innovative technology creates competitive advantage
in the form of lead time or first mover advantage.  
Good IP in the form of patents and intellectual
property rights, however, creates
sustainable
competitive advantage.
