Intellectual Property Rights Due Diligence

Intellectual property (IP) due diligence is the assessment of an intellectual property’s value and if it has novelty and inventiveness. IP due diligence is most often completed by intellectual property attorneys. Going through a checklist for intellectual property rights due diligence is a great way to see if your IP has enough value to be patented.

• Preliminary search
• Patent search for non-infringement analysis
• Patent search for patentability analysis
• Patent search for evaluation of the state of the art
• Patent search for validity analysis
• Patent search for competitor’s market evaluation
• Trade Mark search
• Patent Validity
• Provisional patent application drafting
• Competitive landscape evaluation
• File history retrieval
• IP patent portfolio management

IP due diligence assesses all of a company’s assets or IPs as well as giving the buying and selling company a chance to see which IP assets are being sold. Depth, future potential, ownership, scope, and enforceability are what are assessed during the due diligence. At Levin Consulting Group we can help you assess your patent’s value as well as overall patent management, so filing a patent isn’t as complex.
