I have a little list!

Hi all,
I have been working on a checklist that I will use when looking for IP. Two of the sections I have created so far deal with pre-buying a selected IP and the other is dealing with the process of actually purchasing the IP. I was wondering if anyone could add to these lists. I know that I have must have missed some points.

Best Regards

Marc
