The value of intangible assets
Understanding the value of a company’s intellectual property (IP) assets can influence prices in M&A, financing, and licensing transactions. We take a broad view of intangible assets and analyze all of your company’s IP, including patents, patent applications, licensing agreements, know-how, and trademarks, to assess your overall IP strengths and liabilities.
From both sides of the deal
We conduct due diligence reviews of IP for acquiring and merging companies as well as for institutional investors and venture capitalists. We also assist our clients in diligence by these groups. Through working with corporate clients, including Fortune 500 companies and other global leaders with track records of success, we are intimately familiar with the business realities of IP. Our work with investors also keeps us current on what the market looks for in evaluating IP assets. Because we have deep experience working on both sides of deals, you benefit from a comprehensive view of the diligence process.
