Whether you’re onboarding new assets, navigating a portfolio transition, or preparing for an acquisition, CPI’s Patent Audit Service delivers the clarity and control you need to manage your IP with confidence.
Backed by decades of experience and a proven blend of public patent office data and expert analyst review, our audits reduce risk, improve data integrity, and support smarter business decisions without requiring CPI’s management platform.
