What does an IP scan mean?
An IP scan is a review of the company's intangible assets. Advisors in the field of intangible assets look at your business model, your products or services and growth plans and help you identify the most important intangible assets from a business perspective. The service can help you decide which intellectual property rights to apply for and how to design your intellectual property strategy in the future.
If you have already registered intellectual property rights, you will receive advice on how to develop your intellectual property rights portfolio. IP scanning is coordinated by PRV.
Once you have the application approved, contact PRV to get access to the advisor who will perform the IP scan.
