Marks & Clerk (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd ’s Post

Intellectual property is one of the most valuable assets in mergers and acquisitions, sometimes accounting for up to 80 percent of a company’s overall value. In sectors like technology, pharmaceuticals, and media, a strong IP portfolio can enhance a deal’s success, while overlooked IP risks can lead to legal disputes, financial losses, or even the collapse of an acquisition. Without thorough due diligence, companies may acquire IP assets that are not properly transferable, tied up in litigation, or encumbered by restrictive licensing agreements. Ensuring that patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets are fully protected and strategically integrated into the business is critical for maximizing value and minimizing risk. Understanding how IP has shaped past M&A transactions provides valuable lessons for businesses navigating high-stakes deals. A well-structured IP strategy can safeguard innovation, strengthen competitive positioning, and drive long-term success. #MergersAndAcquisitions #Strategy #IntellectualProperty #Deal #Innovation #CorporateLaw #MarksAndClerk
