IP Audit
Understand what intellectual property your business owns β and make sure it is properly protected.
Most businesses generate more intellectual property than they realise. A brand name, a logo, a product design, a piece of software, proprietary processes, customer data β all of these can represent significant value. An IP audit helps you identify what you have, assess how well it is protected, and prioritise the steps needed to secure it.
What an IP Audit Covers
Intellectual property encompasses a range of rights including trademarks, copyright, designs, patents and confidential information. An audit looks across all of these to give you a clear picture of:
- What IP assets your business owns or uses
- Whether ownership is correctly established β particularly important where freelancers, agencies or co-founders have been involved in creating assets
- Where gaps in protection exist and what the risks are
- What steps to take to strengthen your position
When an IP Audit is Useful
An audit is particularly valuable when you are:
- Starting or rebranding a business and want to build on solid foundations
- Preparing to sell, licence or invest in your business
- Bringing on investors or going through due diligence
- Reviewing contracts with suppliers, agencies or employees
- Simply taking stock after a period of growth
