IP protection in manufacturing and development agreements

Securing IP in Manufacturing and Development Agreements

Collaborating with manufacturers or development partners involves sharing valuable intellectual property, making robust protection measures essential. A well-drafted agreement safeguards your IP against misuse, ensures ownership clarity, and protects your competitive advantage throughout the partnership.

Our unique approach

We provide specialized legal support to secure your intellectual property in manufacturing and development agreements. Our approach focuses on clear ownership definitions, confidentiality, and enforceable terms to minimize risks.

Here’s how we can assist:

  • Ownership and Licensing Clauses: We draft agreements that clearly define ownership of background IP and derivatives works.

  • Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure: We include stringent confidentiality obligations to protect sensitive IP and trade secrets shared during the collaboration.

  • Restricted Use Provisions: We ensure your IP is used solely for the agreed purpose, preventing unauthorized use or replication.

  • IP Indemnification: We include indemnity clauses to protect against third-party claims related to IP infringement.

  • Termination Safeguards: We structure terms to ensure IP is returned or appropriately transitioned upon termination of the agreement.

  • Compliance and Jurisdiction: We ensure agreements comply with Swiss and international laws, providing a strong legal framework for cross-border collaborations.

What we deliver

  • Defined ownership and licensing terms for IP

  • Strict confidentiality and use provisions safeguarding sensitive information

  • Termination clauses ensuring seamless IP transfer and continued protection

  • Full compliance with Swiss and international standards for legal and operational security

  • Ensured clarity for future due diligence by investors or acquirers
