The Third Edition has been significantly reorganized and revised. The book has been broken down into three sections: The Nature of Intellectual Property, Valuation, and Unique Circumstances. Revised and expanded to include up-to-date information on: including market value and accounting value, capitalization, licensing an royalty rates, domain name valuation, embryonic technology valuation, and university technology transfers. Also covered are tax strategies, income contribution, discount cash flow, infringement litigation, and bankruptcy and their impact on the valuation of intellectual property and intangible assets. The appendices include investment rate of return requirements, the Use and Abuse of the Iowa Curve, Sample Patent Registration, Sample Copyright Registration, and Sample Copyright Registration. This book is supplemented annually.

However, I am a senior manager at a company whose value is almost 100% dependant on our intellectual property and intangible assets and this book has been my guide in setting policy. I take it with me on every plane flight (about every two weeks) and re-read a section.
