Electronic & Software. Protect industry assets.

The strategy starts from the project.

Software developed internally, third party libraries and purchased components do not necessarily have the same usage regime. The dossier must separate proprietary code, licenses, hardware and results of the collaborations, with attention to the actually distributed versions.

What assets to consider.

Digital inventions

For computer inventions, European analysis considers technical character and patentability requirements. An algorithm does not become patentable only because it is performed by a computer.

Code and licenses

Sources, firmware, documentation and dependencies must be associated with contracts and terms of use, including open source license obligations.

Brands and product

Application names, platforms and devices must be linked to the service offered and to the markets, without confusing them with code rights.

An example of the route.

A startup develops a sensor with firmware and a dashboard. The asset map distinguishes circuit, data processing, interface, trademark and libraries used, to set consistent technical and contractual checks.

Illustrative example: does not describe an assignment or a result obtained by LegalMark.

Useful information for the first comparison.

• Architecture, Functions and Technical Problem
• Inventory of bookstores and licenses
• Contracts with developers and partners
• Repositories, demos and releases history

At first it is sufficient to describe the objective and the state of the project. Technical documents and sensitive information can be shared at a later time, after agreeing to the communication methods and perimeter.

From industry to services.

The reading of the project allows you to choose the useful verifications: search on the signs, analysis of the technical solution, organization of the portfolio or preparation of an valorization operation. Priorities, times and territories depend on the concrete structure and activities that the company intends to carry out.

General information content. The forms of protection and any requirements must be verified in the concrete case and in the territories concerned.
