Due diligence is an important step in selling your business or preparing to buy one. An important asset of any business is its IP portfolio and many times that is what is truly being paid for when acquiring a company. During the due diligence process we can help you to look closely at the structure of a business, the business plan and the financial health of a business. We can help you to assess your company's risks as well as its potential to grow and profit. More specifically, due diligence involves looking at items such as:
- Employment agreements
- Contracts
- Business relationships
- Pending or completed litigation
- IP portfolios
The IP portfolio is a critical aspect of demonstrating the value of a business. As part of due diligence and business valuation, we will work with you to assess the intellectual property inventory. We will determine if it is appropriately protected with trademarks, patents, copyrights and other means. We will look for potential infringement issues. We conduct a full audit of the IP portfolio as part of the due diligence process.
