Question ID: 709054
I am seeking statistics to create a distribution curve, by industry,
of intellectual property sales that occurred in 2003, 2004, and/or
2005 (i.e., a graph depicting the number of sales of IP that occurred
within given $ ranges) to gain some sense of the price at which IP is
bought and sold.  What are sources of free or low-cost statistics on
IP sales and/or IP valuation rules of thumb?
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

The broadness of your question is astonishing.  Asking for data
involving intellectual property sales (*note: you didn't even specify
licensing, franchising, or other means of IP sales or even if you are
selling trademark rights, patent use, or copyright use), in a global
scale, for all industries, would probably be the biggest and most
extensive research project ever endured by a single person.  So to sum
this up, you are either going to have to be largely more specific on
your question, or pay a  bit more than $30.  If you are willing to
finance a major research project, I have a B.A. in International
Business and a B.A. in Economics, and I am currently working on my
J.D. in Law.

The information that you are looking for will be listed as "other
intangibles" in the BS.  It is hard to specifically narrow down the
search, because the specific gain/loss of these will be listed in the
footnotes of the annual reports.  However, the following may give you
an idea of where to begin looking.


Col3 takes [other_intangibles(2005) / total_assets(2005)]  to give an
indication of the percent of total assets that are intangibles.  The
data pulled first imposes the restrictions that these "intangibles"
must be at least 10% of of total assets as reported in 2005.

Col 4 lists Net Sales, in millions, because you probably want to limit
your search to companies that make at least a certain amount.  For
now, the break point was set at companies having a 2005 net sales of
at least $10 million, which is quite small in the grand scheme of
things.

Col5 lists "intangibles(2005) - intangibles (2004)" to give an
indication of whether there was a large change between these years. 
You may want to focus on this col to see if a sale of a patent was
made, or if it expired...

Col 6 lists "intangibles(2004) - intangibles (2003)" so that you can
see if a sale happened between these years.  A good way to check this
would be to import the data into excel.  If you want to focus on
companies that had large sales of intangibles in 2003, then sort
"ascending by this col."

Col 7 again repeats what col5 and col6 did, but for "intangibles(2003)
- intangibles (2002)"


in summary, w/ the conditions:

1. Intangibles made up at least 10% of total assets in 2005 balance sheet 

//and 

2. Net Sales in 2005 was at least 10 million
