"So much more than IP Law!"

IP Works®   

See how IP Works® can put your business Intellectual Property assets to work!  

IP Works®! expertise & services are key to supporting the successful conduct of IP Asset and procedural audits, reviews and due diligence at various stages of corporate and business IP & technology life-cycle activities, and most importantly, in support of corporate mergers & acquisitions.

All too often, however, the task of engaging in a sufficiently thorough and prudent Vendor IP Asset & technology:

    • identification and classification;
    • consolidation and divestment strategies;
    • inward and outward IP licensing benefits, liabilities, obligations and restrictions on freedom to operate;
    • valuation;
    • registration & protection compliance;
    • core & non-core technology cross-licensing opportunities; &
    • confirmation that IP Asset acquisitions will achieve core deal outcomes.
is over-looked, or accorded scant regard & attention, both by relevant corporate executives and directors and, unfortunately, those internal and external professionals who advise and assist them to undertake corporate mergers & acquisitions.

Regrettably, corporate responsibilities of directors to: 
    • ensure that IP Assets which are thought to be being acquired are, in fact, being acquired, and can be used in the manner intended as part of the rationale for the merger or acquisition; &
    • adequately and prudently determine the value of IP Assets (which in today's global village comprise some 80+% of the corporate assets involved in a merger & acquisition), and to make sure that the corporate shareholders' interests are met by not paying too much for the same, or not receiving too little for the same;
appear to go unrecognised or are ignored and, in doing so, individual corporate directors & executives (particularly CEO, FDs and General Counsel) run serious risks of facing both civil & criminal sanctions for their failures to address such basic responsibilities.

IP Works®! seeks to offer its expertise & services to help key senior corporate personnel, engaged in corporate merger & acquisition activities, to do so in a prudent & responsible manner, consistent with their statutory and common law responsibilities.
