Intellectual Property
Code, brand and data that belong to the company, provably. The IP work that makes a technology company fundable and defensible in a dispute.
Book a 15-min intro callThe question every investor asks in due diligence is not whether the product works but who owns it. Software written by a founder before incorporation, by a freelancer without an assignment, or by an agency under a vague brief may still legally belong to the person who wrote it. The most common reason a Turkish startup fails diligence is exactly this.
We put the ownership chain in order and protect what is worth protecting: assignments from founders and contractors, trademark registrations in the markets that matter, software copyright under Turkish law, and licensing that lets you use open source and third-party components without contaminating your own stack. The result is an IP file that reads cleanly to an investor and holds up against a competitor.
Scope
What this service covers.
IP Assignment and Chain of Title
Assignments from founders, employees, freelancers and agencies, backdated where the law allows and structured where it does not, so the company can prove it owns its code.
Trademark Strategy and Registration
Clearance, filing and enforcement of trademarks before TÜRKPATENT, the EUIPO and through the Madrid system; the brand registered where you sell, not only where you sit.
Software and Data Rights
Copyright in software under Turkish law, database rights, trade secrets and the documentation that shows a court or an acquirer what is protected and how.
Licensing, Open Source and Third-Party Code
Inbound and outbound licences, open-source compliance so a copyleft component does not reach your proprietary core, and API and data licensing terms.
IP Diligence Readiness and Enforcement
The IP register and evidence file prepared for a funding round or an exit, and a measured response when someone copies you: demand letters, takedowns and where necessary proceedings.
