IP DUE DILIGENCE
Telephone No.212.457.9797
Dilendorf Law Firm assists companies with developed intellectual property (IP) portfolios, as well as startups, in assessing their and their counterparties’ IP assets and related risks. We conduct intellectual property due diligence in all types of transactions involving IP rights in FinTech, PropTech, BioTech, telemedicine, gaming, crypto and blockchain technologies.
IP ownership and related issues, such as data privacy and security, play an integral role in a technological company’s sustainable operation and growth. IP due diligence is essential for proper valuation of the company’s IP assets, as well as understanding of the scope, validity and enforceability of the IP rights.
We have an extensive experience working with digital-asset developers, security and utility token issuers, FinTech/PropTech/BioTech companies, money transmitters, crypto wallets and exchanges, gaming and dApp developers, and other players in the digital technology space. All of these companies are utilizing valuable proprietary information, whether by creating, maintaining and licensing their own IP, or by acquiring third-party IP rights.
Our team of IP lawyers will define the due diligence scope based on the client’s role, goals, nature of business and specifics of technology. Depending on the goals and priorities, we will examine trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, domains, databases, data privacy and security issues.

Across-the-board Due Diligence of IP Assets
Our IP attorneys analyze various types of transactions involving IP in the digital technology and blockchain spaces, including fundraising, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and alliances. Our legal team runs due diligence checks prior to closing investment transactions, asset transfers, in- and out-licensing, as well as during the development of new products, like utility or platform tokens, private blockchains and other software.
Upon completion of IP due diligence, our clients will have an understanding of the target IP portfolio, strength of IP rights and IP-related risks and opportunities.
Our IP due diligence report will be an effective tool in:
- evaluating a company;
- negotiating an investment, joint venture, M&A or licensing transaction;
- making an informed decision on a company’s good standing and freedom-to-operate;
- assessing actual and potential infringements of your/third-party IP rights;
- deriving value from the existing IP; etc.
In addition to confirming ownership, licensing or registration of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and domain names, our IP attorneys will use their hands-on digital technology experience to:
- provide ongoing support to IT teams guiding them along unfamiliar IP legal issues as a part of due diligence;
- offer IP registration and alternative strategies, such as utilizing trade secrets or customized software;
- consider multi-jurisdictional challenges and opportunities for geographical and product-line expansion;
- offer customized solutions balancing open source opportunities with maintaining necessary IP rights, like patents or trademarks over certain technology, products or services;
- develop a strategy of dealing with the challenges of a clouded title;
- consider a variety of IP-related agreements, such as research and development, strategic partnership, co-marketing, data transmission and access, consulting, software-as-a-service (SaaS) or platform-as-a-service, systems integration, legal settlement and other agreements;
- reveal and mitigate risks related to key employees and consultants;
- evaluate strength of a trademark nationally and internationally, and scope of a registered trademark based on selected classes and groups of products or services;
