Acquiring intellectual property rights from authors varies depending on the type of intellectual property and type of the agreement – whether it’s an employment or a business contract. 

• Employment contracts give employers certain advantages in acquiring IP rights. However, these rules may require adjustments, for example regarding the scope of rights transferred.  
• Business contracts offer no such advantages to the ordering party – all details must be clearly defined in the agreement.

Many companies operate for years unaware that they haven’t properly secured the rights to the intellectual property created by their teams or subcontractors. Fixing such gaps later, especially after a long time, can be very difficult and costly. During the workshop, we’ll guide you through the most common issues and mistakes we see in practice and show you how to prevent them before they become a problem:

• statutory rules on acquiring IP rights from employees – under which circumstances they apply and when they need to be modified;
• adjustments to contracts when using the 50% tax-deductible cost scheme (KUP 50%);
• acquiring IP rights from collaborators and subcontractors – key obligations that should be included in the contract;
• information obligations towards authors and obligations to pay additional remuneration when and how these obligations must be met.

For: general managers, HR managers, internal legal counsels.

The session will be conducted in English.

Participation is free of charge.
