IP protection
Secure Your Innovation Globally with Remote IP Guard
Remote IP Guard delivers industry-leading safeguards for your intellectual property and invention rights.
Protect what matters most
We recognise that intellectual property rights (IPRs) are among your organisation’s most valuable assets. When team members are working remotely across different countries, confirming ownership of IPRs can be complicated. Remote IP Guard uses a transparent, two-stage process to maximise protection and secure ownership for our clients. The process is fully traceable, so you can follow the chain of IP transfer from the employee(s) to your organisation.
Under local law, IPRs generated in the course of employment generally vest with the legal employer, so the IPRs are assigned or transferred from the Employee(s) to the Remote local entity. In addition, the transfer is supported by Remote’s carefully drafted IP documentation, which the employee and the Remote local entity both sign. These documents are prepared and regularly reviewed by qualified lawyers in the employee’s country, and you can access them directly on our platform.
The Remote local entity that provides employment services then assigns or transfers the IPRs directly to you under our Terms of Service. There are no intra‑group transfers. Because we establish and control our employing legal entities in every country where we operate, you are not dependent on third parties for IP matters.
As the Employer of Record (EOR), we accept full responsibility for the transfer and provide an indemnity to protect you should any issue arise.
Protect your business from the risks of IP loss
Local entities
Enhanced protection via local entities
Some global employment providers transfer your IP to partner firms, which increases your exposure. Remote does not do this. We own legal entities in every country where we operate, removing avenues for IP risk and helping you retain ownership of what’s yours. Remote works with local experts in each jurisdiction and continuously monitors changes to IP law, updating agreements and protections as needed.
IP transfer process
Two-step transfer with ironclad protection
When we employ team members on your behalf, we follow a secure, transparent two-step method to transfer your IPRs directly to you. You can trace the chain of IP transfer — from the employee to the Remote entity to your organisation — and be confident it is protected.
Our local and international expertise enables us to deliver comprehensive IP protection services in every country. You will always obtain full IP ownership in full compliance with the laws of the countries where your employees work.
Multiple industries
Coverage across all industries
Whether your organisation works in tech, finance, energy, manufacturing, or another sector, we provide protection. Remote’s local and international legal experts know how to safeguard your company’s IP in every situation.
