Due Diligence

A clear understanding of a company’s IP is critical to an accurate assessment of the value of that company. In mergers, acquisitions, public or private financing, licensing deals and other transactions, the value of a company’s IP is often glossed over by corporate lawyers. The diligence process should fully vet the strengths and weaknesses of a company’s portfolio, exposing the issues from offensive and defensive angles.  And, in some instances allow companies to increase their value /attractiveness by correcting identified issues.
