Are the target company's products protected by its own patents at all? Or do they even infringe the property rights of the competition? These and many other questions need to be answered before a company or shares in a company are bought or sold. Our patent attorneys accompany your M&A project within the framework of an IP due diligence.

This gives you the best possible knowledge of the legal status of the intellectual property and minimises the risk of being surprised after the purchase. IP due diligence often includes a chain-of-title analysis, as well as post-merger integration.
