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 establish and control our employing legal entities in every country where we operate, so you do not need 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 any issue arise.

Am I guaranteed to receive my IPRs?

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 provide a written assurance that Remote IP Guard works?

Yes. An external law firm has issued a letter, which we can provide to clients on request.

Has Remote IP Guard ever failed in practice?

No. There are no reported instances 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 protection for your business's IP

Protect what matters most

We recognise that intellectual property rights (IPRs) are among your organisation’s most valuable assets. When staff work remotely across different countries, confirming ownership of IPRs can be complex. Remote IP Guard uses a seamless two-stage procedure to secure maximum protection and clear 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 pursuant to: (a) local law – because IP produced in the course of employment typically vests automatically with the legal employer; and (b) pursuant to Remote’s carefully drafted IP documentation, which is signed by the employee and the Remote local entity. This document is prepared and regularly reviewed by qualified lawyers in the employee’s country, and you can always access it directly on our platform.

Local entities

Stronger protection through our local entities

Some global employment providers transfer your IP to partner firms, which increases exposure to risk. Not Remote. We own the legal entities in every country where we operate, removing points of IP vulnerability and ensuring you retain ownership of your assets. Remote works with local experts in each jurisdiction and continuously monitors changes in IP law to update agreements and protections as required.

IP transfer process

Ironclad two-step transfer

When we employ team members on your behalf, we follow a secure and transparent two-step method to transfer your IPRs directly to you. You can trace the chain of transfer — 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 in every country. You will receive full IP ownership in strict compliance with the laws of the jurisdictions where your employees are based.

Multiple industries

Coverage for every industry

Whether your organisation operates in tech, finance, energy, manufacturing or another sector, we have you covered. Remote’s local and international legal teams understand how to protect your company’s IP in any situation.
