Intellectual property (IP) valuation is increasingly critical in a globalized economy, yet approaches and standards vary significantly across jurisdictions.
This session brings together leadership from the LESI IP Valuation Committee, LES USA & Canada Valuation & Pricing Committee, and LES China Valuation Committee to explore how IP valuation is practiced and perceived in the United States, Europe, and China. Panelists will share insights into regional methodologies, regulatory frameworks, market expectations, and valuation drivers, highlighting both convergence and divergence in global practices. Attendees will gain a comparative understanding of how IP assets are valued across key markets, and how these differences impact cross-border transactions, licensing, and strategic decision-making. This session is designed for professionals engaged in IP strategy, finance, licensing, and policy, offering a unique opportunity to hear directly from valuation leaders shaping the future of IP monetization worldwide.
