Why IP Due Diligence Matters

In today’s innovation-driven economy, intellectual property including patents and trademarks can be among the most valuable assets in a transaction. But understanding what’s being acquired requires more than a cursory review. You need clarity on:

• Ownership and Assignments
  Are the patents and applications properly assigned? Are there any encumbrances, licenses, or prior agreements?

• Validity and Enforceability
  Are the patents well-drafted and properly prosecuted? Are they vulnerable to invalidation?

• Scope and Coverage
  Do the claims align with the company’s core products or strategic goals? Are there gaps or overbroad claims?

• Ongoing Prosecution
  Are there pending applications that may impact valuation or competitive positioning?

We dig deep—so you don’t have to guess.
