Thought Leadership

Pellegrino & Associates is a thought leader in the intellectual property valuation industry. Domestic and international companies seek our expertise to provide credible intellectual property valuations and educate professionals on IP- and software-related topics. The proof is in our accomplishments. The following indicate our capabilities and our position as a thought leader.

We Set Standards
Our company president was instrumental in helping to change Indiana law regarding the valuation of embedded application software for personal property tax reporting purposes and for the taxation of patent-derived income. He authored a substantial portion of the administrative rules that Indiana’s Department of Local Government and Finance now uses to administer the evaluation of software appraisals for property tax matters.
We author nationally and internationally published articles.

Our IP- and software-related articles appear in well-known outlets such as IAM Magazine, Valuation Strategies Magazine, CFO Magazine, MSNBC.com, FoxNews.com, and others.

We provide credible and defensible IP and technology valuations.
Judges, attorneys, and government entities such as the IRS and SEC have accepted our work product. Courts at the state and federal level, tax jurisdictions, and arbitration panels have also accepted our work. One North Carolina court stated our work is “clearly in the mainstream of IP valuation methodologies” and that our qualifications are “outstanding.”
We write books on IP valuation.

Company president Mike Pellegrino has written first and second editions of BVR’s Guide to Intellectual Property Valuation, selling more than 700 to date.

We are educators.
We educate professionals around the globe on topics specific to IP valuations and the tax effects of embedded application software and intellectual property. Venues include law firms, universities, accounting firms, appraisal firms, valuation firms, state bar associations, and other organizations. Within the industry itself, we have trained a quarter of the professionals on IP valuation. We also teach webinars on IP valuation and related topics.
We are innovators.
We assisted with the development of a state-of-the-art patent analytics tool that provides key insights and intelligence into the patent landscape. This system removes information asymmetry rampant in the patent marketplace by consolidating millions of disparate records into a user-friendly database
We are experts.
Our team consists of employees who have owned businesses, patented inventions, and practiced law in the intellectual property industry. Therefore, we bring a perspective unique to any other firm in the industry. We bring firsthand experience to our work efforts.
We offer a range of services.
