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. We have set up and control our employing legal entities in every country where we operate, so you will not have to rely 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 anything go wrong.

Is receipt of my IPRs guaranteed?

Yes. Clients are assured of receiving IPRs acquired from the employee under the Terms of Service signed by both parties. This obligation is a core part of Remote’s responsibilities.

Can you supply a written confirmation that Remote IP Guard is effective?

Yes. We hold a letter from an independent law firm that can be supplied to clients on request.

Has Remote IP Guard ever failed in practice?

No. There have been no reports 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 working with a professional EOR company.

Remote IP Guard provides IP protection for your company

Safeguard what matters

We recognise that intellectual property rights (IPRs) rank among your organisation’s most important assets. Ensuring clear ownership of IPRs is complex when staff work remotely across multiple jurisdictions. Remote IP Guard employs a simple, two-stage method to secure maximum protection and ownership for our clients. The process is fully transparent, so you can 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 pursuant to: (a) local law – because IP created during employment generally passes automatically to the legal employer; and (b) Remote’s thoroughly drafted IP documentation signed by both the employee and the Remote local entity. Qualified lawyers in the employee’s country prepare and periodically review this documentation, and you can access it directly through our platform at any time.

Local entities

Stronger protection through local entities

Certain global employment providers hand over your IP to partner firms, increasing exposure to risk. Remote does not do this. We own the legal entities in every country where we operate, removing potential points of IP vulnerability and ensuring you retain ownership. Remote collaborates with local experts across our jurisdictions and continuously monitors changes in IP law to update agreements and protections as needed.

IP transfer process

Ironclad two-step transfer

When we hire team members for you, we follow a secure, transparent two-step procedure to transfer your IPRs straight to you. You can track the IP transfer chain — from the employee to the Remote entity to you — and be confident it remains protected.

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

Multiple industries

Coverage for every industry

Whether your business operates in tech, finance, energy, manufacturing or another sector, we provide protection. Remote’s local and international legal specialists understand how to safeguard your company’s IP in all circumstances.

Remote IP Guard

Safe Remote IP Guard

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

Partner trust: Your customers and partners rely on your ability to secure your IP.
Audit failure: Prior to a liquidity event, such as an IPO or acquisition, your IP ownership must withstand due diligence.
Legal battles: Do not be forced into litigation with your employees or contractors overseas.
Reputation harm: Keep your company in the headlines for positive reasons, not because of a public legal dispute or IP loss.
