Intellectual Property Survey (Starting at $900)

An EquityNet Intellectual Property (IP) Survey considers any IP and/or IP holdings of the investment target business. Characterization and competitive analysis of the IP landscape including a search of potentially prohibitive intellectual property in the form of patents and patent applications held by potential competitors are included. Freedom-to-operate considerations and a summary / conclusions section round out EquityNet’s IP Survey. The resulting analysis will be subject to certain assumptions and limiting conditions as contained in a professional report.

An Intellectual Property Survey can include:

• Results of intellectual property search and analysis related to the target company
• Characterization of the relevant IP landscape
• A listing of related IP with links to U.S. Patent and Trademarks Office documents and patent or patent application status
• Specific identification of IP-related risk factors such as freedom to operate
• Summary of primary observations derived from the intellectual property survey process

Sustainable advantage is perhaps the most important entrepreneurial consideration, and it markedly impacts a business’s value and survivability. Achieving a sustainable competitive, technology-based advantage for an organization involves gaining an edge over other competing firms with regard to design and delivery of the product or service. An Intellectual Property Survey provides critical information that you need to consider the business’s potential sustainable advantage.
