Post by International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC)

The EUIPO - European Union Intellectual Property Office’s new report on IP-backed finance in Europe highlights an important point: building a more effective market for IP-backed finance will require credible, consistent approaches to IP valuation.   Published on 13 April 2026, IP-Backed Finance in Europe: State of Play and Future Perspectives sets out five priorities for developing a functional European IP finance market. Under Priority 2 – assigning credible value to IP – it calls explicitly for a European IP valuation architecture aligned with International Valuation Standards (#IVS), grounded in common principles, international standards and sector-specific guidance.   IVSC supports EUIPO’s emphasis on the importance of an internationally accepted valuation framework as part of efforts to strengthen Europe’s IP and innovation ecosystem. We look forward to our continued engagment with European policymakers, financial institutions, and the valuation profession as this agenda develops. 📄 Full report: https://lnkd.in/gwtT3fnW 📄 Executive summary: https://lnkd.in/gYiwQ2m7
