IP lights for investors

From its creation, ICOSA has been solicited by investors for Due Diligence. IP is often the major asset of start-ups. ICOSA’s know-how makes it possible to identify strengths and weaknesses and to understand all the potential, whether exploited or not, of the start-up.

ICOSA’s audits are based on six principles of effectiveness:

  • The knowledge of the sector of activity

  • The use of the best tools and databases

  • The reliability

  • The highlighting of the shadows

  • The recommendations to optimize forces

  • The general strategic view

What ICOSA’s audits bring:

  • The materialization of all immaterial assets of the company’s industrial property (patents, trademarks, software, designs, copyright, etc.)

  • Securing all these rights

  • The evaluation of the company’s key contracts, which involve Industrial Property (employment contracts, licenses, collaborations, consortium …)

  • A global vision on the company’s “IP health”
