Frequently Asked Questions

An IP Diagnostics Assessment is a self-assessment tool that helps organizations evaluate the maturity of their intellectual property management practices.

Instead of only looking at existing IP assets, this assessment evaluates how effectively your organization captures, manages, protects, and leverages intellectual property across its lifecycle.

The assessment typically takes 10–15 minutes to complete.

It includes 35 questions designed to provide a practical overview of your organization’s current IP management maturity.

SMEs & Growing Businesses

Understand whether your IP practices can scale as your organization grows.

IP Managers & Legal Teams

Identify operational gaps in invention management, workflows, and portfolio visibility.

Innovation & R&D Leaders

Evaluate how effectively your organization converts innovation into valuable IP.

After completing the assessment, you will understand:

  • Your organization’s current IP maturity level
  • Strengths in your existing IP practices
  • Areas where processes may need improvement
  • Opportunities to create a more structured IP management approach

No.

This IP Diagnostics Assessment is a strategic maturity assessment designed to help organizations understand their current IP management practices.

It does not provide legal advice, evaluate patentability, or replace a formal IP audit conducted by qualified professionals.

Having patents or other registered IP does not necessarily mean an organization has a mature IP management program.

A strong IP program also requires processes for:

  • Capturing new inventions
  • Evaluating opportunities
  • Managing workflows
  • Maintaining visibility
  • Aligning IP decisions with business goals

This assessment helps evaluate those broader practices.
