Although many companies believe that their intellectual property is adequately protected, practice shows that deals are often not concluded with sufficient consideration of the transfer/use or other aspects of intellectual property. Intellectual property due diligence is a crucial process in any business transaction, especially when the value of a company is closely linked to its intellectual property.
The main purpose of this due diligence is to assess the quantity and quality of the assets involved in the transaction. It is also essential to evaluate whether the transaction poses any risk of infringing intellectual property rights, whether it contravenes existing legal provisions, and whether it will result in the transfer of rights whose sources are unclear or disputed.
As part of this process, our law firm performs a detailed analysis and assessment to determine the status, validity and risks of intellectual property rights when engaging in business transactions involving the sale, partnership, investment, or licensing of a business.
