IP Scouting & Acquisitions
IP scouting & acquisitions helps you identify and evaluate third-party IP or technology to potentially license or purchase to grow your business and strengthen your IP positioning. Acquiring or licensing IP that aligns with and strengthens your product strategy can provide you with a competitive advantage or remedy a gap in your IP portfolio.
Deloitte IP Advisory conducts a thorough review of technologies and opportunities to identify IP available for license or for purchase. We then gather and provide objective data to support negotiations. A third-party perspective and know-how is very valuable when choosing what assets to acquire and how to approach the potential seller or licensor. This is an end-to-end service where we support the entire process through executing the transaction.
