Your Intellectual Property Rights are some of your most valuable assets. Navigating the complexities of ensuring IP Rights ownership, especially with permanent and contingent staff operating in Australia, India, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Vietnam, poses a unique set of challenges.
Outstaffer IP Protect employs a seamless three-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 staff 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 is signed by the employee and the local Outstaffer entity. This documentation is always generated and periodically vetted by qualified lawyers within the employee’s country and will always be accessible to you on 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 exerted control over the legal entities we employ in every country we operate in, thereby eliminating the risk of dependence on third parties when it comes to transferring IP.
As the Employer of Record (EOR), we take full responsibility for the transfer, and under our Terms of Service, we provide an indemnity that covers you if things were ever to go wrong.
Unlike some Employer of Record providers who transfer your IP to their partners, thereby escalating your exposure to risk, Outstaffer takes a different approach.
By owning legal entities in every country where we operate, we mitigate opportunities for IP risk and guarantee that you retain ownership of your assets. Outstaffer collaborates with local experts in all operational countries, diligently monitoring alterations in IP law and contemporaneously updating agreements and protections to ensure you're always protected.
