Chapter 6 in Intellectual Property Strategies for Start-ups, 2022, pp 127-154 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The start-up phase, capital increases and exits (e.g. sale, IPO), intellectual property and its allocation to the company as well as freedom from third party rights are of central importance when drafting contracts for a company. This relates in particular to important aspects are the correct indication of the inventors, the correct naming of the owner of the intellectual property rights as well as the legal validity of the intellectual property rights. These are either checked by the purchasing side ("IP due diligence") or guarantees are given by the seller. It is also important that any royalty payments and any employee invention compensation are handled transparently.
