In every day of our lives we take risks some people prefer to anticipate and protect themselves from high consequences of those risks while others prefer to leave it to providence.
The same principle is apply when it comes to investment because there is no investment without any minimum average of risk. As an investor you are taking such risks in expectation of return of investment.
If you thus have a proactive approach it means you don’t want to build your investment without foundation. It is thus recommended to carry out an IP audit in order to identify IP strengths and weaknesses of the company in which you want to invest. This will increase your chances to achieve your investment goal.
You should thus have to pay attention to the following questions and more:
- Does the company have a solid and appropriate protection for their innovations ?
- Who is the legal owner of IP rights?
- Has this company properly manage employees invention?
For such a project, we always recommended to take assistance from IP professionals in order to achieve your goal.
