Step 2: transfer from Remote entity to client

The IPRs are assigned or transferred from the Remote local entity that provides employment services directly to you, the customer, under our Terms of Service. There are no intra-group transfers. We have established and control our employing legal entities in every country where we operate, so there is no reliance on third parties when it comes to IP.

Step 3: employer of record indemnity

As the Employer of Record (EOR), we accept full responsibility for the transfer and provide an indemnity that protects you should anything go wrong.

Am I guaranteed to receive my IPRs?

Yes. Clients are guaranteed to receive the IPRs obtained from the employee via the Terms of Service signed by both parties. This is a material part of Remote’s obligation.

Can you provide a written assurance that Remote IP Guard works?

Yes. We hold a letter from an external law firm that can be provided to clients on request.

Have there ever been cases where Remote IP Guard failed?

No. There has never been any report of Remote IP Guard failing.

Does the IP Guard have any adverse effect on me as a client of Remote?

No. Because clients are covered by Remote IP Guard and are guaranteed to receive their IPRs, there are no adverse effects. This is one of the advantages of partnering with a professional EOR company.

Remote IP Guard protects your company's IP

Protect what matters most

We recognise that intellectual property rights (IPRs) rank among your organisation’s most valuable assets. With team members working remotely across different countries, securing clear ownership of IPRs can be complex. Remote IP Guard uses a smooth, two-stage approach to deliver maximum protection and establish ownership for our clients. The whole process is transparent, so you can trace the chain of IP transfer from the employee(s) to you.

The IPRs are assigned or transferred from the Employee(s) to the Remote local entity under: (a) local law — since IP created during employment commonly vests automatically with the legal employer; and (b) Remote’s carefully drafted IP documentation, signed by the employee and the Remote local entity. These documents are prepared and routinely reviewed by qualified lawyers in the employee’s country and you can always access them directly on our platform.

local entities

Enhanced protection through local entities

Some global employment providers transfer your IP to their partners, which raises your exposure to risk. Remote does not do this. We own legal entities in every country where we operate, removing avenues for IP risk and ensuring you retain ownership of what’s yours. Remote works with local specialists in each jurisdiction and continually monitors changes in IP law to update agreements and protections accordingly.

IP transfer process

Ironclad two-step transfer

When we hire team members for you, we follow a secure, transparent two-step process to transfer your IPRs directly to you. You can trace the chain of IP transfer — from the employee to the Remote entity to you — and be confident that it is protected.

Our local and international expertise enables us to offer comprehensive IP protection services in every country. You will receive full IP ownership in strict compliance with the laws of the jurisdictions where your employees work.
