O34 - Intellectual Property and Intellectual CapitalReturn

This paper discusses the differences in intangible asset valuation approaches and methods enshrined in the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines and International Valuation Standards. The paper identifies some overlap, but also significant differences both at the level of the concept (category) of value and at the level of the main valuation methods themselves. At the level of the methods themselves, the typology of the main methods and their internal principles are compared. Special attention is given to the substantially different concept and use of the concept/method of profit-split between the IVS and the OECD.
