Understand the true power of IP due diligence and patent landscape mapping in company valuations.

CFOs, Investment Bankers, and Financial Analysts tend to leave half the value on the table when evaluating companies for purposes of acquisition or IPO. 

Why? Because they don’t understand the strategic benefits of patents and the analytics tools that are available. Their understanding of intellectual property is limited to seeing patents simply as a company asset. 

If you want to maximize your value as a target, or be able to negotiate the best deal as an acquiring company, you need to understand the global competitive patent landscape.
