About the event:
Many companies assume that financing the development of technology, software, or products automatically grants them full ownership. In practice, the absence of specific contractual clauses often leads to a loss of control over a business’s most critical assets.
This training will demonstrate how intellectual property is actually formed within a company and why contracts – rather than registrations – determine who truly owns the technology, code, and know-how. Many businesses only discover these gaps at the worst possible moment: during a legal dispute, an investor’s due diligence, or the sale of the company.
The goal of this training is to identify typical legal pitfalls and show you how to implement practical safeguards in relationships with your team and contractors to ensure your company’s interests are fully protected.
What will you learn?
- how to secure your rights: why you might not own solutions created in your own company;
- how to identify IP assets: which business elements require legal protection;
- how to draft solid contracts: key clauses determining ownership of technology and code;
- how to secure legal rights: protecting IP in relations with employees, freelancers, and contractors;
- how to distinguish legal forms: differences between transfer of rights, licensing, and co-ownership;
- how to avoid common mistakes: auditing current contracts to ensure they realistically protect you;
- how to prepare for investors: when to conduct an IP audit before a company sale.
