Transactional IP concerns the commercial exploitation and movement of intellectual property assets. We support acquisitions, investments, restructurings, licensing projects and portfolio transfers by determining what rights exist, who owns them, whether they are valid and whether contractual restrictions affect their value.
IP due diligence
- Identification of registered and pending trade marks and designs.
- Review of ownership, assignments, licences and security interests where available.
- Assessment of renewal status, territorial coverage and portfolio gaps.
- Review of disputes, oppositions, cancellations and known infringement exposure.
- Verification of whether core brands are owned by the operating company or by another person or entity.
Transactions and restructuring
- Transfers of trade mark and design portfolios.
- Internal reorganisations and group-company transfers.
- Licensing structures for Romanian and EU rights.
- IP contribution to joint ventures and collaborations.
- Post-acquisition recordals before OSIM and EUIPO.
Commercialisation
- We assist in defining what exactly is being licensed or transferred. This is particularly important where a product combines registered marks, designs, copyright, software, databases, know-how and third-party components.
Portfolio value and risk
- Transactional review should identify not only formal ownership but also whether the rights cover the actual business activity, whether registrations can be challenged for non-use, and whether important territories or classes are missing.
