Is an IP Audit right for you?
An IP (Intellectual Property) audit can be beneficial to various individuals and organisations. Here's a list of those who might benefit:
Businesses and Startups: Companies, especially startups, can benefit from an IP audit to identify, evaluate, and manage their IP assets. This can help in leveraging these assets for competitive advantage, securing funding, or preparing for mergers and acquisitions.
Investors and Venture Capitalists: Investors looking to invest in a company may require an IP audit to assess the value and potential risks associated with the company's IP portfolio.
Legal Professionals: Lawyers and law firms may conduct IP audits on behalf of their clients to ensure proper protection and management of IP rights, and to avoid potential infringement issues.
Research and Development Teams: Organisations with active R&D departments can use IP audits to ensure that new innovations are properly protected and do not infringe on existing patents.
Educational and Research Institutions: Universities and research institutions may conduct IP audits to identify potentially valuable research outputs that can be patented or licensed.
Franchisors and Licensees: Businesses involved in franchising or licensing can benefit from an IP audit to ensure that the IP being licensed or franchised is adequately protected and does not infringe on third-party rights.
Creators and Inventors: Individual creators, artists, authors, and inventors may find an IP audit useful to identify and protect their intellectual creations.
Technology Transfer Offices: Organisations involved in technology transfer may need IP audits to assess the commercial potential of their technologies and ensure they are properly protected.
Overall, an IP audit by Sirius IP helps in understanding the value, risks, and opportunities associated with IP assets, enabling better decision-making and strategic planning.
Now is a great time to take advantage of the UKIPO's reintroduced IP Audit and IP Advance scheme.
