Are you protecting the value of your intellectual property?
Intellectual property disputes can impact your business in a variety of scenarios. The creators of Stranger Things have been accused of stealing the idea for the show. Blackberry has filed patent complaints against Snapchat and Facebook. Apple has been accused of stealing heart sensor technology for their watches. Microsoft is suing a hospital for software license violations. Understanding the value of your IP is critical for the effective operation of your business and equally important if you are suing or being sued regarding the use of intellectual property.
Asterion consultants are well-versed in the valuation of IP, as well as in the analyses needed to resolve contentious IP matters. If you need to protect or defend the value of your IP, consider contacting Asterion.
Is a merger or acquisition a good move for your business right now?
Despite, or perhaps because of, stock market volatility, M&A activity remains strong as companies work to strengthen their positions. T Mobile and Sprint are in talks again. Walmart is considering the acquisition of Humana. Brands like Smucker’s are buying into the pet food sector. Netflix has made an offer for a billboard company.
If you are seeking to merge, roll up a business segment, acquire or divest your business, Asterion can assist you before, during, and after the deal.
