GLOBAL IP & INTANGIBLE ASSETS PROTECTION

Global IP & Intangible Asset Protection

Your Startup’s intellectual property (IP) and intangible assets are often the most valuable resources, having them unprotected is very risky.

The brand, software code, algorithms, proprietary data, and unique processes form the core of your company’s competitive advantage and drive your company's valuation.

We can help you protect these critical assets across borders—especially the US-LATAM corridor.

RESOURCES

  • Cease-and-Desist

    NOTICE

    Enforce your trademark rights to prevent infringement.

  • Inventions Agreement

    AGREEMENT

    Make sure all the IP created by members or contractors is owned by your company.

  • Non Disclosure Agreement

    AGREEMENT

    Confidentiality agreement to protect your trade secrets and prevent misappropriation.

We understand all the sacrifices that founders have to go through when building a new startup (especially the first one), so we focus in staying out of their way, but giving them the path and framework in which they can build a solid company, emphasizing on the ownership and the protection of their intellectual property and trademarks. 


Your intellectual property is integral to the value and growth of your Startup business. We get that, and we develop innovative strategies to protect your ideas, trademarks, and business methods.


Protecting IP is always an investment, considering the scarce resources of startups we always advise them when is the right moment to make such expense and to which assets.
