IP Audit & Portfolio Review

RM Legal advises businesses, start-ups, and brands on assessing, structuring, and strengthening their intellectual property portfolios through focused IP audits and strategic review.

What We Do

Our work includes:

  • Identification and review of existing intellectual property assets
  • Assessment of ownership, registrations, and gaps in protection
  • Evaluation of risks, including potential conflicts and vulnerabilities
  • Review of brand and IP usage across products, platforms, and markets
  • Advisory on portfolio structuring and protection strategy

Our Approach

An IP audit extends beyond a review of registrations. We work with clients to:

  • Map intellectual property assets to business operations
  • Identify gaps between existing protection and actual use
  • Align intellectual property with expansion, branding, and commercial strategy

Our focus is on ensuring that intellectual property is not only protected, but effectively organised and capable of supporting long-term business growth.

Why an IP Audit Matters

An IP audit enables businesses to:

  • Identify gaps between existing protection and actual use
  • Reduce risk of infringement, conflict, or loss of rights
  • Strengthen brand and intellectual property protection
  • Align intellectual property with business and commercial objectives

When to Consider an IP Audit

  • Business expansion or entry into new markets
  • Rebranding or restructuring of product lines
  • Investment, funding, or due diligence processes
  • Existing portfolios with unclear ownership or gaps in protection

Outcome

A structured IP audit enables businesses to:

  • Clearly identify and organise their intellectual property assets
  • Strengthen protection and reduce legal risk
  • Align IP strategy with business and commercial objectives
