— The recently developed nanomaterials and their production technologies as intellectual property objects (IPOs) are considered. The role of the informational-analytical system of NUST MISiS “Intellectual Property: Protection and Commercialization” in the legal protection and commercialization of the results of scientific and technical activity is shown. One of the lines of activity of NUST MISiS is the fabrication of new nanomaterials and technologies for their production. For the purpose of commercializing new nanomaterials and their production technologies in NUST MISiS, the preliminary feasibility studies on individual projects were developed, the market value of IPOs was calculated, including their registration on the balance sheet of an institute of higher education for subsequent sale to potential investors. Students–economists take part in the development of feasibility studies and evaluation of the market value of new nanomaterials (as IPOs). This makes it possible based on using the institute of higher education internal capacity without additional funding to prepare the feasibility study of projects and evaluate the market value of IPOs, that is of the interest in the subject for potential investors. The advantages and disadvantages of different approaches in the evaluation of IPOs are considered. As an example of an IPO, in the field of nanoindustry, the development of a new technology for the synthesis of FeCo/C nanocomposite is discussed. The use of an FeCo/C metal–carbon nanocomposite is analyzed and the choice of the design solution for the nanocomposite production technology is justified. A feasibility study of the FeCo/C nanocomposite production project is undertaken and the market value of the developed technology is evaluated.
