Overview
According to the Chinese, “sharpening the axe before chopping the tree is not a waste of time”. In the context of intellectual property (IP), due diligence is critical.
This should not only include a review of the status of registered rights, but also an analysis of previous transactions and other relevant agreements which may affect what can be done with the IP.
In this briefing, Tilleke & Gibbins reports on how IP acquisitions are becoming commonplace in Asia, with the recent move to knowledge-based economies. The briefing also includes an IP due diligence checklist.
