The benefits of IP audits and strategy

Our IP solicitors believe that most companies, whatever their size, across the range of sectors and industries, need to conduct intellectual property audits and formulate an IP strategy. That is because IP can be a highly valuable company asset upon which the future success and profitability of the company rests.

If your company is an IP user, audits should be carried out to ensure the business complies with licensing agreements, copyright and patents and is not placing itself at risk of expensive and protracted IP dispute litigation.
