This is the eighth lecture in a series of nine online sessions about Intellectual Property (IP) and patents, strategic tools to be taken into consideration in a company's business decisions and strategy. The sessions will run in the November + December 2022 time frame.

This session is a lecture on the process of due-diligence with respect to intellectual property and particularly patents.  What does a due-diligence process look like?  What information will companies seeking investment be looking for when engaging with potential investors?  The lecture will aim to explain how to prepare and discuss some of the pitfalls of not preparing yourself properly.

To provide attendees with a basic understanding of what investors may be asking for as part of a due-diligence process and enough information to prepare themselves in advance.  Due-diligence can be a daunting issue for small companies and startups but being prepared and presenting information in an appropriate way can put companies in the best possible shape for investment.
