Make smarter investments with expert IP Due Diligence

Why IP Portfolio Assessment matters

IP assets, particularly patents, can represent a significant portion of a company’s value, especially in innovation-driven sectors like biotech, software, engineering, and green tech.  But not all patents are created equal.  Without a thorough review, there is a risk of overvaluing weak IP or missing hidden liabilities.

That’s where we come in.

The value of a Patent Attorney in IP Due Diligence

Unlike general consultants or analysts, a qualified patent attorney brings deep legal and technical expertise to the IP evaluation process. We don’t just review patent claims:  we assess enforceability, freedom to operate, validity risks, and potential infringement issues. Our insights ensure you understand both the technical merits and legal standing of the portfolio you’re investing in.

Key elements we evaluate include:

• Patent scope and enforceability

• Legal ownership and chain of title

• Pending litigation or opposition proceedings

• Jurisdictional coverage and renewal status

• Competitive landscape and FTO (freedom to operate) concerns

• Strength of innovation and alignment with business goals

Benefits of an IP Portfolio Assessment for Investors

• Identify valuable, tax-efficient, and enforceable IP assets

• Mitigate legal and financial risks

• Understand the competitive position of IP

• Evaluate opportunities for licensing or monetisation

• Ensure IP aligns with business growth strategies

• Negotiate with greater confidence and clarity

Whether you’re conducting early-stage due diligence or assessing IP in a merger, acquisition, or funding round, our IP portfolio assessments give you the clarity you need to proceed with confidence.
