Audits

Our professional IP audit will systematically review how well your company has been respecting its own, and other's, IP assets by:

  1. Reviewing your company's IP-related practices, records and documents;
  2. Inventorying IP assets controlled and/or used by your company;
  3. Prioritizing your company's mission-critical IP assets;
  4. Analyzing the scope, ownership, and vulnerabilities of those mission-critical IP assets;
  5. Verifying that appropriate strategies, policies, and procedures are in place to optimize returns;
  6. Identifying how you can mitigate liability for possible third party claims of IP infringement against your company; and
  7. Recommending changes needed to optimize returns from your company's mission-critical IP assets.
