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

As the Employer of Record (EOR), we assume full responsibility for the transfer and provide an indemnity to protect you should any issue arise.

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 written assurance that Remote IP Guard works?

Yes. We can provide clients, on request, with a letter from an external law firm.

Have there ever been cases when Remote IP Guard failed?

No. There has never been any reported failure of Remote IP Guard.

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 benefits of partnering with a professional EOR company.

Remote IP Guard secures IP for your business

Protect what matters most

We recognise that intellectual property rights (IPRs) rank among your company’s most valuable assets. When staff operate remotely across multiple jurisdictions, confirming IPR ownership can be complex. Remote IP Guard applies a clear, two-stage method to secure maximal protection and preserve ownership for clients. The procedure is fully transparent, enabling you to follow the IP transfer chain from the employee(s) to your organisation.

The IPRs are assigned or transferred from the Employee(s) to the Remote local entity in two ways: (a) by operation of local law – because IP produced in the course of employment commonly vests automatically with the legal employer; and (b) pursuant to Remote’s comprehensively drafted IP documentation, which is signed by the employee and the Remote local entity. These documents are prepared and periodically reviewed by qualified lawyers in the employee’s country, and you can always access them directly on our platform.

Local entities

Enhanced protection via local entities

Unlike some global employment providers that transfer clients’ IP to partner firms—thereby increasing exposure—Remote keeps ownership of our legal entities in every country we serve. This removes third-party risk and ensures you retain ownership. Remote works with local specialists in each jurisdiction and continuously monitors IP law changes to update agreements and protections accordingly.

IP transfer process

Ironclad two-step transfer

When we hire staff on your behalf, we apply a secure, transparent two-step procedure to convey IPRs directly to you. You can trace the IP transfer chain — from the employee to the Remote entity and then to you — and be confident the rights are protected.

Our local and international expertise enables us to offer comprehensive IP protection services across all jurisdictions. You will receive full IP ownership in strict compliance with the laws of the countries where your employees are based.

Multiple industries

Protection across all industries

Whether your company operates in tech, finance, energy, manufacturing or another sector, we cover your needs. Remote’s local and international legal experts understand how to protect your company’s IP in any circumstance.

Safe Remote IP Guard

Putting your IP at risk can have serious consequences. Remote IP Guard ensures we do not take that risk.

Audit failure: Prior to a liquidity event — such as an IPO or acquisition — your IP ownership will be scrutinised.
Legal battles: Do not be drawn into litigation with employees or contractors overseas.
Reputation harm: Keep your company in the headlines for positive reasons, not because of an IP dispute or legal controversy.
