DECODING IP RIGHTS IN M&A TRANSACTIONS Closing a major M&A deal? Don't overlook Intellectual Property (IP) rights—often the crown jewel of the transaction. Mismanaging IP can turn your dream deal into a nightmare. Here’s how to ensure a smooth process: ● Due Diligence: Conduct a thorough IP audit to know exactly what you’re acquiring, including patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. ● Ownership Clarity: Confirm the target company actually owns the IP it claims. Unclear ownership often leads to disputes. ● Valuation: Understand the true worth of the IP portfolio for better negotiation. ● Licensing: Review existing IP licenses—can they transfer? Do they impose restrictions? ● Infringement Risks: Investigate potential infringement risks to avoid costly litigation. ● Integration: Post-deal, integrate IP into your operations seamlessly. IP isn’t just a checkbox; it’s a strategic asset that can unlock immense value. Handle it with care.
