Early-Stage Technologies

"Early-Stage Technologies is a comprehensive guide to technology risk assessment, valuation, and pricing. It describes in great detail the core concepts, sources of value, methods of valuation, issues involving equity realizations, and overall negotiation strategies to facilitate the licensing or sale of early-stage technologies; and it helps the developers of R&D to value their technologies based on their own needs and arrive at a price that is acceptable to both themselves and the potential buyer/licensee.". "For licensing executives, corporate R&D departments, intellectual property consultants, university and government laboratories, attorneys, accountants, and business appraisers and executives, Early-Stage Technologies is a valuable resource that helps minimize uncertainties, characterize risks, and develop rational pricing models so that promising technologies are given every chance to realize their full potential."--BOOK JACKET.
