What is Copyright valuation?
Copyright is often referred to as the “Cinderella of Intellectual Property Law”. This is because it was once overshadowed by the twin sisters-Franchise law and Patent law but now it plays an important role in IP regime. Fundamentally, copyright is a law that gives you ownership over the things you create. Be it a painting, a photograph, a poem or a novel, if you created it, you own it and it’s the copyright law itself that assures that ownership. From a valuation perspective, copyright-related intangible assets have similar economic and legal characteristics to other types of commercial intellectual property. A copyright has a special set of legal rights and protections that is afforded to the copyright owner. These legal rights are the basis for the value of a copyright. And, these legal rights provide for the various commercialization opportunities related to copyrights.
