IP in Insolvency

A company is in resolution. What is its IP actually worth to a creditor?

We work for the people on the recovery side of the table — resolution professionals, liquidators, creditors and lenders, and resolution applicants running diligence on a target. The work is finding the intellectual property that genuinely exists in the estate, verifying it against the official registers rather than the company’s own list, and saying plainly what can be transferred, what has already been lost to a missed renewal, and what a buyer would actually be acquiring. Where a statutory valuation is required under the Code, that is a registered valuer’s appointment — we support it, we do not substitute for it.

What you walk away with

  • IP asset schedule for the estate — what exists, verified against the registers, not just what the memorandum lists
  • Transferability assessment — what can actually be assigned, what has lapsed, what needs recordal to move
  • Recovery view — an indicative range with the method and every assumption written down
  • Buyer-side diligence note — for a resolution applicant: what the target’s IP does and does not support
