12. tm&i 2010 V.12.. the task list can be further broken down into sub-tasks if necessary, e.g. Review IP define search keywords or IPC codes search patent databases review hits shortlist 20 - 30 most relevant hits map out and analyse patent landscape identify potential infringements / competition send results to Legal for due-diligence process summarise and conclude in a brief report “Review IP” is a Work Package (WP) Project Planning
