IP & Digital Assets
PVS provide comprehensive Intellectual Property asset valuation advice and understand the importance and value of IP in modern businesses.
We can provide clear advice on traditional IP elements such as patents, trademarks, brand value and IP portfolios with the added value of often overlooked intrinsic value of intangible assets within the business especially those of a digital nature.
Our Approach
At PVS we recognise the exponential growth in digital assets, how this covers a wide spectrum of value adding components and subsequent requirement for specialist valuation and disposal advice.
PVS is one of the few UK firms with real life experience in the valuation and disposal of blockchain related assets.
We combine traditional valuation principles, modern adoption models and a detailed understanding of volatile online markets and emerging asset types, ensuring that our clients achieve early accurate advice on how to identify, secure and dispose of assets in an evolving digital landscape.

- Blockchain-based assets such as NFTs, Crypto, Web3 applications and Tokenised assets.
- AI applications.
- Domain names and websites
- Online stores and eCommerce accounts

- Content libraries, media rights, and subscription platforms.
- IPR.
Securing Digital & IP Assets
The key to realising value from assets of a digital and in some cases IP nature is fundamentally linked to securing direct independent control of the asset where it is often critical to undertake the necessary steps as quickly as possible to avoid any impact of a host of potential critical failure points such as:
- Obtaining all 2FA capabilities especially where linked to individuals phones/emails.
- Full Administrator logins/privileges to any network or service that controls the custody, network or data channels etc in relation to the asset.
- Understanding of reliance on third parties, proprietary software and any potential ransom or data breach threats.
Our Process
We offer a comprehensive discovery process for any IP or digital assets, report to the client on all potential risks or critical failure points in securing possession of the asset and execute the recovery, custody and disposal process from start to finish.
