How We Can Help
We've worked with investors across the UK and Europe for over 20 years and know exactly what you need from IP due diligence. That's why we created VerifyiP, a proven model developed through decades of hands-on experience.
VerifyiP goes beyond listing IP rights. We assess how a company's IP strategy supports its products, business plan, and long-term commercial value, so you can identify both risks and opportunities before committing.
Our team will:
- Assess the company's business plan from an IP perspective and, where relevant, its technology roadmap.
- Check whether existing IP rights support key products and services. We'll highlight where additional rights may be needed.
- Confirm the legal ownership of the IP.
- Review licences, agreements, and other commercial contracts. We identify anything that could impact the company's IP.
- Evaluate how IP is managed. We look at governance and internal processes to understand how IP risks and decisions are handled.
- Assess the company's approach to IP-related risks and freedom to operate (FTO).
- Review third-party relationships and their impact on IP. This includes verifying whether agreements are in place to define and support these relationships.
At the end of the process, you'll receive a clear, commercially focused report that sets out how the company's IP supports its business plan. It gives you the clarity and confidence to make fully informed investment decisions.
