Common questions

Frequently asked

Please note: these answers are AI-generated general information and have not been reviewed or verified by a lawyer. They are not legal advice, may be incomplete or inaccurate, and no reliance may be placed on them. For advice on your specific situation, please contact us.

How do we make sure we own the IP our contractors create?

Through proper assignment terms in the contractor or agency agreement. Without them, the IP can stay with the creator — a common and expensive gap that surfaces in due diligence.

Can you help license or acquire IP?

Yes — acquisition, assignment, licensing and merchandising of IP, media and technology rights.

What IP problem most often delays a sale?

A broken chain of title — IP created by founders, employees or agencies that was never properly assigned to the company. We fix it before a buyer finds it.
