What Is IP Due Diligence?
IP due diligence is the process of verifying the ownership, validity, and enforceability of intellectual property before key transactions or as part of an internal audit. It protects buyers, investors, and businesses themselves from overvalued or encumbered assets.
What Does IP Due Diligence Involve?
It covers ownership verification, renewal status, risk and conflict checks, contractual restrictions, and scope validation across markets.
Why IP Due Diligence Matters
Skipping this step exposes businesses to invalid rights, disputes, or reputational risks, undermining the value of the transaction or portfolio. With expert due diligence, companies move forward with confidence and clarity.
