In a sale, acquisition, or funding round, we audit your portfolio so it is clean, protected, and properly valued. Investors want certainty; we deliver it.
Sources: M&A and venture diligence standards; U.S. IP and contract law.
In a sale, acquisition, or funding round, buyers and investors scrutinize your IP. They want clean title, no ownership gaps, and a portfolio that supports the valuation. An IP audit before the process finds and fixes the problems, missing assignments, weak registrations, unclear rights, before they stall or sink the deal.
When a company is sold, acquired, or raising capital, its intellectual property comes under a microscope. Investors and buyers need certainty that the IP is owned, protected, and worth what the deal assumes. An ownership gap or a weak registration discovered mid-deal can lower the price or end the transaction.
The most common problems are quiet ones: work created by contractors or AI tools that was never properly assigned, registrations that are incomplete or lapsed, licenses with troubling terms, and chains of title with missing links. They are invisible until someone goes looking, and in a deal, someone always does.
We audit your IP portfolio so it is clean, protected, and properly valued before the diligence starts, finding and fixing gaps so your IP supports the deal instead of threatening it.

“Deals do not usually die over big, dramatic problems. They die over small, quiet ones, and IP is full of those. The classic example is work that contractors or, increasingly, AI tools created for a company that was never properly assigned, so the company does not actually own its own product. That surprise surfaces during diligence, the investor gets nervous, and suddenly the valuation drops or the deal stalls. The fix is almost always cheaper and easier before the process starts. We audit the portfolio early, clean up the title, and close the gaps, so your IP is an asset in the deal, not a liability.”
