Rights to software, digital products and brands

The code has been paid for, but can the company develop, license and sell it? We review rights from founders, employees and contractors, together with terms for third-party components, design and content.

What the work aims to achieve

The business needs rights that support revenue and continued development without dependence on a single person or supplier. Addressing gaps before a major customer negotiation or investment can protect the company’s negotiating position.

Scope matched to your situation

  1. 01

    Rights from the team and contractors

    We review contracts, development history and rights in code, UX, UI and documentation. We prepare missing arrangements so the company can use the work in its intended business model.

  2. 02

    Licensing and product development

    We distinguish owned code from licensed assets, open-source components and supplier services. We align agreements with later versions and the way the product is made available to customers.

  3. 03

    Brand protection and transaction preparation

    We help protect the brand and prepare trademark applications. We organise evidence of product rights for commercialisation and due diligence.

The experience behind the advice

Our work includes an agreement for evolving software and organising product assets across subsequent versions. The aim was to protect commercialisation and the product’s value to an investor.

Based in Szczecin, we work remotely with teams in Poland and abroad on Polish law and applicable EU rules.

Rights in software under continued development

A draft agreement and an inventory of product components, taking future software versions into account.

Business goal: Protect the ability to earn revenue from the software and its value to investors, while limiting the cost of handling rights to future releases.

Before we start

Is a developer’s invoice enough?

Payment alone does not settle every product ownership question. We examine the working relationship, contractual terms and intended uses of the work.

Is this full company due diligence?

This service focuses on product and brand rights under Polish law. A company review or preparation for a specific transaction requires a separately agreed scope.

What should I send and what affects the fee?

A product overview, creator and contractor agreements, key components and the sales or investment plan. Pricing depends on development history, document volume, sources of rights and remedial work needed.

What is your next business milestone?

Describe the situation, deadline and decision you need to make. An introductory discussion will help us establish priorities and the scope of further work.
