INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS – IPR

IPR - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

IPR, which stands for “Intellectual Property Rights,” is the English term we also refer to in Danish as “immaterialret”. Essentially, it signifies ownership rights over intellectual creations such as trademarks, logos, inventions, know-how, software, articles, user manuals, domain names, and artworks.

IPR is a part of your company’s assets; like any other assets, it’s wise to protect them from unauthorized use.

This is particularly crucial in the startup phase, as rectifying registrations and infringements later on may prove too late.

During collaborations with other companies, universities, and organizations, new IPRs can be generated. Therefore, it is advisable to establish clear agreements from the outset that address the ownership of IPR for collaborative work.

IPR counselling is, for example, relevant if you:

  • Want to determine ownership and usage rights over new IPRs from collaborations with other companies, universities, or organizations.
  • Intend to grant a customer or collaborator the right to use your company’s IPR, possibly in the form of IT or trademark licenses or permission to reproduce articles, images, or videos unique to your company.
  • Require rights to use another company’s inventions or know-how.
  • Need the necessary rights to test another entity’s products or know-how for potential use within your company.
  • Plan to transfer or acquire software, trademarks, or other IPR.
  • Seek to protect your trademarks and business identifiers by registering or addressing infringements and misuses.
  • Must handle a demand to cease using your brand or domain name.
  • Want to ensure that the IPR created by your employees and consultants is transferred to your company.
  • Wish to understand how best to secure, exploit, and enforce IPR protection.

“As a general rule, an idea cannot be protected by IPR, so the primary safeguard is to refrain from sharing it with others. A confidentiality agreement should be drafted if you need to share it with others. When the idea takes physical form, it becomes eligible for protection under IPR.”
