What is IP due diligence and why is it important? #

Intellectual property due diligence is the process of examining an intellectual property portfolio – either your own or that of another party – with a view to buying, selling, licensing, or taking other action as regards that portfolio.

Proper intellectual property due diligence is central to determining the true value of any company and its assets. It establishes both the quantity and quality of intellectual property held. It also highlights any areas of weakness, or additional protection that needs to be put in place.
