Martin Brassell speaks on IP valuation and IP-based finance at CII conference

Martin Brassell, co-founder and CEO of innovative UK intellectual property and intangible asset specialists Inngot, spoke about IP valuation and IP-based finance during the 8th International Conference on IPR, organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

The conference had the theme, “Building Global IP Partnership. Martin’s presentation covered how companies can identify and value the IP and intangibles assets they own, and how valuing them can help in getting funding from investors or lenders – as well as drive companies’ strategic management of their IP assets.

Martin is a regular speaker at CII events, having spoken at the 5th International Conference on IP Rights: Innovation and IP led Technology for a $5 Trillion Economy in 2019, and also delivers online training for the CII around IP valuation.

He is a recognised global expert on the use of Intellectual Property and intangible assets in raising finance for businesses. He has just co-authored a second influential report for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Secured lending for SMEs: making effective use of registries and intangibles, published in July 2022. Earlier this month, he was invited to speak at WIPO’s High-level conversation on unlocking intangible asset finance, which saw the launch of the global NGO’s action plan to mainstream IP-based finance.

Inngot’s mission is to stimulate debate on the value locked up in companies’ intellectual property and intangible assets and how they can be helped to access and leverage that value. It works closely with Government bodies in the UK and around the world, as well as with NGOs, industry and trade associations, and national Intellectual Property Offices.

It also directly helps companies via its innovative and award-winning suite of online tools to help businesses identify, manage and value their intellectual property and intangible assets, alongside other IP and technology audit and evaluation services.

In addition to the recent OECD report, Martin Brassell has also co-authored Economic Approaches to Intellectual Property, with Dr Nicola Searle (OUP, 2016), and reports and publications for the UK’s Intellectual Property Office (IPO) and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), amongst others.
