You guys, my first paper on data privacy has been published on 4 international journals. 😭
Oh my God!
Founder homework: identify everyone who contributed to your core product and locate the agreement governing each person's work.
Legal housekeeping is easier to approach before a transaction is waiting on answers.
Don't make fundraising the first time you review your IP arrangements.
The absence of an assignment clause does not automatically determine ownership.
It does mean you should examine the contract and applicable law rather than guess.

Your developer built the product. But what do your agreements say about who owns the IP?
Payment, possession and ownership are not always the same thing.
Review the agreements behind the work your business relies on.
More on Friday.

My mum did not know she's watching AI videos.
Madam asked, "They don't indicate it anymore?" 🥹
Mummy, we can hear it's AI. 🤣💔

Founders: do you know who owns the code your business depends on?
Or have you simply assumed it's the company?
A payment record can show that you paid for development.
It may not, on its own, establish all the intellectual property rights your company needs.
Don't overlook co-founders, freelancers, consultants and other contributors.
Review the arrangements that apply to each person's work.
