Maximising the value of your IP

The viability of a potential business sale or acquisition needs careful assessment. IP is a core business asset that should not be overlooked and the quality of the IP can determine whether a deal is a benefit or a liability.

Clarification of the quality and reach of a target acquisition’s IP assets can avoid costly mistakes and identify opportunities to make the best use of the investment.

We are familiar with working with investors, venture capitalists and venture capital (VC) firms, particularly in the life sciences, consumer electronics and communications sectors where the pace of technological innovation has been significant in recent years.

Our IP evaluation and due diligence services include

  • IP audits
  • Freedom to operate advice
  • IP infringement and validity opinions
  • IP due diligence
  • Licensing advice and identification of new licensees
  • IP business model reviews
  • Standards participation advice
  • IP asset valuation and advice
  • IP acquisition and sale
  • IP awareness training
  • Post investment IP maintenance, protection and strategy
