Summary/Abstract: The value of a trademark is based on its economic benefit to its owner or the economic entity owning/using the trademark. All methods of appraising the fair value of a brand are based on three approaches - comparability, cost and income approach. In appraising intangible assets of unlisted (private) companies operating in developing markets, appraisers have to face the problem of the lack of empirical data, or their low quality. This makes the application of standard appraising methodology disputable. Therefore we suggest the VIM (Verifiable Interdependent Model) model, which has been designed specifically for the conditions of use in this environment.
