Overview
What is IPR Audit?
An Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) audit is a structured review of the IP your organisation owns, uses and licenses. It maps every asset, checks that registrations are valid and renewed, confirms that employees, contractors and vendors have assigned their rights, and identifies where you may be infringing someone else's rights. It is typically done before fundraising, an acquisition, a product launch or a customer security and legal review.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions — IPR Audit in India
What is an IPR audit?
An IPR audit is a systematic review of the intellectual property you own, use and license. It covers patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs and trade secrets, confirms ownership and registration status, and identifies infringement and licensing risks.
When should a company do an IPR audit?
The usual triggers are a funding round, an acquisition, a major product launch, entering a new market, or a customer or investor due-diligence request. Many companies also repeat it every one to two years.
Does an IPR audit cover software code ownership?
Yes. We check that employee and contractor agreements assign copyright in code to the company, review outsourced development contracts, and pair the review with an open-source SBOM audit when third-party components are involved.
Is an IPR audit the same as a legal opinion?
No. Our audit documents your IP position and highlights gaps and risks. Legal conclusions on infringement or validity should come from your IP counsel, and we work alongside them.
