Your Intellectual Property Rights stand as some of your most valuable assets. Navigating through the complexities of ensuring Intellectual Property Rights ownership, especially with team members operating remotely across various countries, poses a unique set of challenges. Outstaffer IP Protect employs a seamless two-stage approach to guarantee optimal protection and ownership for our customers. This process is completely transparent, enabling you to trace the IP transfer trajectory from the employee(s) to you.
The Intellectual Property Rights are assigned or transferred from the employee(s) to the local Outstaffer entity in accordance with: (a) local law – given that IP created during employment usually auto-transfers to the legal employer; and (b) Outstaffer’s meticulously crafted IP documentation, signed by both the employee and the local Outstaffer entity. This documentation, always generated and periodically vetted by qualified lawyers within the employee’s country, and will always be accessible by you in our platform.
The Intellectual Property Rights transition directly from the Outstaffer local entity, which provides Employer of Record (EOR) services to you, our customer, in accordance with our Terms of Service. No intra-group transfers are conducted. It's important to note that we have both established and exert control over our employing legal entities in every country we operate in, thereby we eliminate the risk of dependence on third parties when it comes to transferring IP.
