The IPRs move from the Remote local entity—which provides employment services—straight to you, the customer, under our Terms of Service. We do not carry out intra-group transfers. Importantly, we have established and control the employing legal entities in every country where we operate, so there is no reliance on third parties in relation to IP.

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

Will I be guaranteed to receive my IPRs?

Yes. Clients are assured of receiving the IPRs generated by the employee under the Terms of Service signed by both parties. This forms a material part of Remote’s obligations.

Can you provide written assurance that Remote IP Guard works?

Yes. We hold a letter from an external law firm, which can be supplied to clients on request.

Has Remote IP Guard ever failed in any cases?

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 provides IP protection for your business

Protect what matters

We appreciate that intellectual property rights (IPRs) rank among your organisation’s most valuable assets. When staff are located remotely across different countries, confirming ownership of IPRs can be complex. Remote IP Guard uses a seamless, two-stage method to secure maximum protection and ensure ownership for our clients. The process is fully transparent, allowing you to trace the chain of IP transfer from the employee(s) to your organisation.

The IPRs are assigned or transferred from the Employee(s) to the Remote local entity under: (a) local law — since IP created in the course of employment generally vests automatically in the legal employer; and (b) Remote’s thoroughly prepared IP documentation, which is signed by the employee and the Remote local entity. Qualified lawyers in the employee’s country will have produced and regularly reviewed this document, and you can always access it directly on our platform.

Local entities

Stronger protection through local entities

Some global employment providers pass your IP to partners, which raises your exposure to risk. Not Remote. We own legal entities in every country where we operate, removing routes for IP exposure and ensuring you retain ownership. Remote works with local experts in each jurisdiction and continually monitors changes in IP law to update agreements and protections as required.

IP transfer process

Ironclad two-step transfer

When we hire team members for you, we follow a secure, transparent two-step procedure to transfer IPRs straight to you. The chain of transfer — from the employee, to the Remote entity, to you — is easy to trace, giving assurance that your IP is protected.

With our local and international expertise, we deliver comprehensive IP protection services in every country. You will receive full IP ownership in full compliance with the laws of the countries where your employees are based.

Multiple industries

Coverage for every industry

Whether you operate in tech, finance, energy, manufacturing or another sector, we can protect you. Remote’s local and international legal specialists understand how to safeguard your company’s IP in every scenario.

Remote IP Guard

Safe Remote IP Guard

Exposing your IP to risk can have serious consequences. With Remote IP Guard, we do not take that chance.

Partner trust: Your customers and partners rely on your ability to protect your IP.
Audit failure: Prior to a liquidity event, such as an IPO or acquisition, your IP ownership will need to withstand scrutiny.
Legal battles: Avoid being forced into litigation with employees or contractors overseas.
Reputation harm: Ensure your company is in the headlines for positive reasons, not due to a public legal dispute or IP loss.
