The IPRs are assigned or transferred from the Remote local entity, which offers employment services, directly to you, the customer, under our Terms of Service. There are no intra-group transfers. Note that we have established and we control our employing legal entities in all countries where we operate, so there’s no risk of 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.

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 have a letter from an external law firm which can be provided to clients upon request.

Has Remote IP Guard ever failed?

No. There has never been a 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 benefits of partnering with a professional EOR company.

Remote IP Guard secures your business's IP

Protect what matters most

We recognize that intellectual property rights (IPRs) are among your company’s most valuable assets. When team members are working remotely across different countries, securing clear ownership of those IPRs can be challenging. Remote IP Guard employs a seamless, two-stage approach to deliver maximum protection and ownership for our clients. The process is fully transparent, enabling you to 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 pursuant to: (a) local law – because IP produced in the course of employment typically transfers automatically to the legal employer; and (b) pursuant to Remote’s comprehensively drafted IP documentation which is signed by the employee and the Remote local entity. This document will always have been produced and regularly checked by qualified lawyers within the employee’s country and you will always be able to access this documentation directly in our platform.

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.

Remote IP Guard

Secure Remote IP Guard

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

Partner trust: your customers and partners depend on your ability to secure your IP.
Audit failure: prior to a liquidity event, like an IPO or acquisition, your IP ownership must pass inspection.
Legal battles: avoid being pulled into litigation with your employees or contractors overseas.
Reputation harm: ensure your company makes the news for the right reasons, not for a messy legal fight or IP loss.
