IP protection
Protect your innovations worldwide with Remote IP Guard
Remote IP Guard delivers the industry's most robust safeguards for your intellectual property and invention rights.
Protect what matters most
We understand that intellectual property rights (IPRs) are among your organization’s most valuable assets. With team members working remotely across different countries, securing unquestioned ownership of IPRs can be complex. Remote IP Guard employs a smooth, two-stage approach to deliver maximum protection and ensure ownership for our clients. The process is fully transparent, letting you trace the chain of IP transfer from the employee(s) to your company.
The IPRs are assigned or transferred from the Employee(s) to the Remote local entity pursuant to: (a) applicable local law — since IP created in the course of employment commonly vests automatically with the legal employer; and (b) Remote’s thoroughly drafted IP documentation, signed by the employee and the Remote local entity. These documents are produced and periodically reviewed by qualified lawyers in the employee’s country, and you will have direct access to them on our platform.
The IPRs are assigned or transferred from the Remote local entity, which provides employment services, directly to you, the customer, under our Terms of Service. There are no intra-group transfers. Please note we establish 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.
As the Employer of Record (EOR), we assume full responsibility for the transfer and provide an indemnity that protects you should anything go wrong.
Protect your business from the risks of IP loss
local entities we own
Enhanced protection through local entities
Some global employment providers transfer your IP to partner organisations, which increases your exposure to risk. Not Remote. We own legal entities in every country where we operate, eliminating third-party exposure and ensuring you retain ownership of what’s yours. Remote works with local experts across our jurisdictions and continuously monitors changes in IP law, updating agreements and protections accordingly.
IP transfer process
Ironclad two-step transfer process
When we employ team members on your behalf, we follow a secure, transparent two-step process to transfer your IPRs directly to you. You can track the IP transfer chain — from the employee to the Remote entity to you — and be confident that it is protected.
Our local and international expertise enables us to provide comprehensive IP protection services in every country. You will always receive full IP ownership in strict compliance with the laws of the countries where your employees work.
