Copyright Disputes

Independent expert opinion on the valuation of copyright. Analysis of exploitation terms and the economic value of the rights.

When is this expert opinion required?

The expert opinion involves assessing the economic value of copyright and the financial terms of its exploitation.
It is required in the context of a sale, an acquisition, an allocation of the first consolidation difference, or a dispute between an author and their publisher.

METHODOLOGY

The valuation takes into account the contractual terms, the market potential, and the economic and marketing characteristics of the market in which the right is exploited.

Analysis of contractual terms

Review of exploitation contracts, the rights assigned, and the associated remuneration terms.

Analysis of the exploitation market

Study of the market potential and the economic and marketing characteristics of the sector.

Financial valuation

Valuation taking into account the economic and marketing characteristics of the market, as for trademarks, patents, or know-how.

Report and assistance

Preparation of an expert report and assistance in judicial proceedings, as claimant or defendant.

We value economic (patrimonial) copyright, meaning rights that allow a work to be exploited and generate revenue, provided they are transferable and have economic value.

A valuation is needed for the assignment or acquisition of rights, the allocation of the first consolidation difference, disputes between an author and their publisher, or to determine the financial terms for exploiting a work.

The valuation is carried out by examining the contractual terms and the potential of the market in which the right is exploited, taking into account the economic and marketing characteristics of that market.

It relies on the same fundamentals as the valuation of trademarks, patents, or know-how, while incorporating the contractual specifics and the potential of the market in which the right is exploited.
