IP in Mergers & Acquisitions: Avoiding IP Pitfalls That Can Sink Your Deals

Introduction

Every year, deals collapse, clients lose millions, and legal teams take the hit - not because of pricing or negotiation failures, but because of overlooked IP problems.

These problems can include:

• Hidden IP disputes that surface too late
• Invalid IP assignments that unravel transactions
• Third-party rights that poison key assets
• Post-closing litigation from missed IP red flags

When IP due diligence is rushed or incomplete, deals don’t just stall - they fail.

Or worse, they go through and leave lasting liability.

This new virtual classroom seminar is about knowing exactly where those risks hide, how to find them early, and how to shield your clients - and your own practice - from exposure.
