IP agreements / audits

Do you know what IP Rights you own?  It’s amazing how many businesses have no idea of the what Intellectual Property they own, or how to make the best use of it. 

That is what an IP Audit aims to resolve through a systematic cataloguing of all the IP owned or used by your business.  This includes not only obvious IP, such as trade marks and patents, but also the less obvious, such as trade secrets, know-how, databases and licensed rights.

Once all of your IP assets have been identified, and their validity ensured, we can then thoroughly analyse their status, importance to your business, value and, importantly, how well they are currently being utilised.  You will then be able to concentrate on maximising the potential of your portfolio, in terms of what you maintain, what you grow and making the best use of what you’ve got it, to boost the value of your business.
