IP Audit

The right questions to ask

Do you how much of your business value is made up of IP and intangibles?

Actually let’s go even further back, do you even know what IP is? What can be protected? What are intangibles in your business?

Do you know what IP you own? What IP you have license rights to?

We help you answer these questions in order to get started building IP into your business.

Answering the questions

Many businesses don't know what IP they own, but all it takes is to start with a good long look around. Call it an audit if you like. But, having been educated on what IP is, you can then start looking around and putting labels on your IP stuff, including the stuff that you’ve created on your own, and that you’ve created with others (collaborative IP). Our insight into the market is that many businesses don't know what IP they own and frequently make mistakes when collaborating with other companies, contractors, and even employees. Once you've unpacked and labelled everything in the IP box, then we can start to work out the quality of your IP and where it needs improvement.

The target

The target is awareness: A conscious awareness of what you own and the beginnings of an understanding of how good it is.  This audit and new-found awareness leave a lasting impact on the business that remains even after the initial education and audit session.
