IP Due Diligence

Är du på gång att köpa, sälja eller gå ihop med ett företag eller överväger du kanske någon annan affärstransaktion? IP due diligence kan beskrivas som en granskning av immateriella tillgångar som antingen ägs eller licensieras av ett visst företag. Granskningen kan innefatta en genomgång av det faktiska ägandeskapet till tillgångarna, hur de skyddas, under hur lång tid tillgångarna är giltiga och vilka underhållskostnader som tas i anspråk, huruvida tillgångarna faktiskt är i kraft och, i förekommande fall, hur starka de är.

Why Due Diligence?   It could be that you are having negotiations involving the financial value of IP – eg for financing or licensing purposes.   Depending on your needs, it may also be a review of the state of your IP relative to your business strategy. An IP Due Diligence can reveal whether your company has potential IP-rights that you have not yet considered – meaning that both your potential revenue and the value of your company may actually be higher than you think. Or maybe it turns out that you own assets that have lost their relevance and have become a financial burden.   Need assistance with a Due Diligence?   Zacco’s attorneys have the skills and experience to help you get the right scope of your Due Diligence.
