IP Ownership
Making sure the company — not founders, contractors, or former employers — owns the IP investors are paying for.
What this covers
- IP assignment from founders and early contributors
- Contractor and employee IP chains
- Open-source and third-party dependencies
- Pre-incorporation IP brought into the company
- Documentation investors will check in due diligence
When founders need this
Before a raise, or whenever code, designs, or inventions were created by people who never formally assigned them to the company.
