IP Audit

What do we actually own — and where are we exposed?

Most companies own less than they think and are exposed in places they have never looked: work done by contractors, marks used but never filed, assignments that were never signed. The audit puts the whole position into one document you can hand to a board, a buyer, or an investor.

What you walk away with

  • IP Position Audit — everything you hold, in one document
  • Ownership & assignment gap list — what is not yet legally yours
  • Priority action list — sequenced, with a reason attached to each item
  • Trade-secret register — what should never be filed, and how to keep it protected
