Due Diligence and IP Transfers
McHale | Slavin has extensive experience assessing IP rights and preparing the full array of patent opinions, including patentability opinions, freedom to operate opinions, infringement opinions, and invalidity opinions.
These types of opinions can be critical to a business’s success, including when introducing a new product into the market, in anticipation of or during litigation, when entering into acquisitions, joint ventures, or investment arrangements, or when a company’s IP needs to be valued for sale or purchase. The importance of a due diligence analysis cannot be over emphasized when entering into a relationship that requires the buying, selling, or licensing of patents.
Our understanding of the industries, business environments and client objectives allows us to focus on the assets and their relative importance to the client. We are experienced with drafting due diligence requests and undertaking further investigative activities as necessary. In addition to our experienced attorneys and registered patent agents, our firm has a network of foreign affiliates who can assist us when such transactions address cross-border issues.
