As intellectual property becomes an increasingly valuable asset class, a growing number of business transactions are being driven by IP-related decisions. In an acquisition, for example, fully understanding the value and scope of a target's IP and product portfolios is critical for determining a true business valuation and identifying potential liabilities and risks.

Akerman has broad experience in all forms of intellectual property transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, investments, and licensing. Our work spans multiple sectors, including medical devices, software applications, 3D printing, and tobacco products. We regularly provide in-depth reviews of target company IP and product portfolios, conduct IP due diligence, assist with transaction structuring, and perform intellectual property audits.
