This is why Inventa offers you a due diligence service that ensures your business the most comprehensive search and analysis, as well as the protection of you trademark, patents, copyright, and domain registration.

Be Aware

Do not minimize the importance of your Intellectual Property value

Imagine you want to sell your IP. In this case, the business can only be conducted after an exhaustive survey of your Intellectual Property value in order to establish which rights were granted, which of them are in effect, and which products and services are protected. Moreover, this survey helps in finding out whether there are any ongoing judicial proceedings involving these assets and how the licenses are being implemented.

Important

Do not buy Intellectual Property assets before prior due diligence

Due diligence should also be carried out by those who wish to buy either Intellectual Property assets or companies that hold Intellectual Property rights. This is because business values will vary depending on the portfolio of the trademarks, patents, designs, or domain names and, more specifically, depending on the number, state, or purpose of these assets.

This information will allow for a detailed perception of the company's Intellectual Property value. It will help the buyer and/or seller to establish whether the Intellectual Property is a strategic force in the business or if, on the contrary, it is does not hold much importance in the industry.
