Due diligence

In intellectual property, due diligence involves verifying and analyzing the existence, status and history of a company’s IP rights.

Due diligence is a critical step for assessing the feasibility, terms and benefits of an initiative, ensuring informed decisions by providing a clear understanding of actual opportunities and minimizing risks.

Due diligence can be conducted on third parties’ assets, for example when considering the acquisition of one or more assets; on your own assets, for example before initiating a negotiation or other activities that involve your intellectual property rights.

How we work

IP Due diligence is a technical process that goes beyond the simple collection of documents. Our specific technical and legal skills enable us to examine in depth the documentation gathered, identify the involved assets and check the relevant procedures not only from the formal perspective but also for analyzing their legal history and retrieving all useful information for the assessment.

Through our multidisciplinary approach – resulting from the experience of an ongoing dialogue with our team’s chartered IP attorneys – we provide a clear and complete overview of your intellectual property assets, supporting the success of your future business ventures.
