IP Due Diligence

We carry out in-depth checks on portfolios of simple and complex industrial property assets to highlight weaknesses and strengths for your operations of an extraordinary nature.

Prior to an investment decision, it is crucial to have correct, complete and up to date information both in the case of sale, transfer or licensing of a given intellectual property asset and for mergers, acquisitions or requests for financing and investments concerning industrial property rights.

Our support is aimed at detecting and highlighting the critical elements of the transfer of intellectual property assets which include: the correct fulfilment of administrative and use practices, the absence of restrictions on the rights transferred as pledges and other real rights, the existence of ownership transfers or transcriptions of licenses, the possible co-ownership of rights and more generally any other information that may affect the terms of asset transfer.

Increasingly complex portfolios and a highly competitive market require rapid and effective IP due diligence, to fully assess the risks and seize opportunities in a timely manner.

Our job is to provide customized analysis and verification in your sector in connection with your needs and objectives.

Thanks to the vast network of correspondents we collaborate with, we can obtain the necessary information on the assets in any register in the world, quickly and effectively.
