🙃What's the problem with intangible assets?

😰Intangible assets can be challenging to value and manage effectively because they lack physical substance and are difficult to quantify📏📐📝🏷💰

✋✌Examples of intangible assets include trademarks, patents, copyrights, software, brand recognition, customer lists, and goodwill

👀The problem with intangible assets is that they do not have a readily observable market value: their worth can be highly dependent on the specific circumstances surrounding their creation and use

🤨Additionally, intangible assets may be subject to legal or regulatory limitations that can affect their value or use⚡

🤔For example...

🔸️patents may have a limited lifespan, and their value can be affected by changes in technology or legal disputes.

🔹️trademarks and copyrights may also have limited durations, and their value can be affected by changes in consumer preferences... or legal challenges😕

🔎... Furthermore, because intangible assets are not physical, they can be difficult to protect from theft or unauthorized use.

This can make it challenging for companies to fully realize the value of their intangible assets... or to defend against competitors who may attempt to replicate or infringe upon them.

👍Overall... while intangible assets can be valuable resources for companies, they also present unique challenges and risks that must be carefully managed.
