Strategic IP Counseling

Intellectual property is an increasingly valuable asset to every business. All transactions in today's business world should be conducted with consideration of IP rights. COJK helps clients determine the strength of these assets, which enables them to realize their full business potential.

We conduct due diligence reviews in the case of a merger or an acquisition to identify all IP assets, helping business owners knowledgeably examine every transaction. We provide patentability and invalidity opinions, which helps clients to determine the course of action to take in the case of possible infringement or when patenting a new invention.

An IP audit is an important investment in a company’s overall financial health. COJK frequently consults with clients to develop audit programs based on their specific needs and resources. Through our consulting services, we can provide a complete picture of the intellectual property a business owns. Once a business is armed with this information, we will assist with strategic planning, which can uncover new revenue opportunities and ensure that there are policies in place to protect trade secrets.

• Strategic portfolio planning and management
