From the context to the project of the enterprise.
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.
The territory of activity helps to describe the chain and the partners; the choice of the protection markets depends on where the trademark and other assets are used. For Bologna's activities, the comparison starts from products, customers, commercial channels and expansion projects, without assuming that registration should be limited to the location of the venue.
Assets to focus.
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.
Prepare the first confrontation.
- Architecture, Functions and Technical Problem
- Inventory of bookstores and licenses
- Contracts with developers and partners
- Repositories, demos and releases history

The passage to be checked
Launching a demo, publishing in a repository and documentation of an API can spread relevant information. Before the release it is useful to decide what to publish, verify dependencies and clarify the rights on external contributions.
