Intellectual Property and Technology Due Diligence
Due diligence is usually a straightforward process that has not experienced radical change in recent years. In contrast, intellectual property itself is constantly evolving, highly technical, and often defines a company's position in the marketplace. Keeping up to date with changing IP laws adds to the complexities for effective due diligence. Intellectual Property and Technology Due Diligence assists the intellectual property attorney in conducting a thorough review of all aspects of intellectual property and technology, accurately assessing and analyzing the risks and benefits associated with those intangible assets, and determining how they impact transactions and the business at large.
