An intellectual property computer-implemented audit system for valuing an
intellectual property portfolio includes a first database storing first
information relating to the intellectual property portfolio and a
database access and collection device connected to the first database and
accessing the first database and retrieving the first information. In
addition, the intellectual property audit system also includes a second
database storing empirical data relating to known intellectual property
portfolios, and a comparison device connected to the database access and
collection device and to the second database, the comparison device
receiving the first information from the database access and collection
device and comparing the first information to the empirical data
retrieved from the second database producing an intellectual property
worth indicator indicating the worth of the intellectual property
portfolio.
