FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions about
IP business value.

Commercial strategy depends on ownership, legal strength, market position, counterparties, economics and the purpose of the transaction.

What is IP commercialization?

It involves using intellectual-property assets in commercial arrangements such as licensing, assignments, technology transfer, franchising, collaborations, joint ventures or other business models.

What is the difference between licensing and assigning IP?

In a licence, the owner generally retains ownership while granting specified use rights. In an assignment, ownership of the relevant rights is transferred, subject to law and the transaction terms.

Why does a business need an IP audit?

An audit helps identify what the business owns or uses, whether protection and ownership records are adequate, and where legal risks or commercial opportunities may exist.

When should IP due diligence be conducted?

It is particularly relevant before investments, acquisitions, mergers, licensing, technology transfers, joint ventures and other transactions where IP is material.

Can intellectual property generate revenue?

Depending on the asset and model, IP may support licensing, assignments, franchising, technology transfer and commercial partnerships.

How is intellectual property valued?

The appropriate approach depends on the asset, available financial data, market conditions, jurisdiction, transaction and purpose. Legal, commercial, technical and financial considerations may all be relevant.

Can a startup conduct an IP audit?

Yes. An early audit can help confirm whether IP created by founders, employees, developers, consultants or contractors has been properly transferred to the company.
