For software companies raising or being acquired · IP ownership

Prove you own what you built.

In diligence, an acquirer’s advisers test whether you actually own your code. Better to find the gap before they do — not after.

The chain-of-title evidence, assignments and open-source controls diligence tests for — assembled before the data room opens, when fixing a gap is cheap instead of deal-threatening.

Diligence-grade IP cleanup is expensive — after the gap is found mid-deal.

The assignments, the chain-of-title evidence and the open-source controls acquirers test for, ready before they look — for a fraction of what a remediation scramble costs while a term sheet is on the table. €790.

Questions

Before you buy.

We had everyone sign contracts — aren’t we covered?

Often not. Standard employment and contractor agreements frequently don’t assign IP cleanly, and open-source terms can quietly undermine ownership. The kit checks the chain end to end and gives you assignments that actually transfer title.

What about AI-generated code?

Covered. There’s a dedicated memo on the IP position of AI-generated code — a question most template packs ignore and most acquirers now ask.

Can I edit everything?

Yes — working Word and Excel files. The asset register and open-source register are live tools you maintain as you grow.

Isn’t this just legal advice in a box?

No — it’s a set of expert-built template documents and guidance you deploy yourself, not legal advice and not a review of your business. The documents are drafted to market-standard positions for a typical software company and are yours to adapt. Buying them creates no lawyer–client relationship or privilege, and Xprofesso LLC is not a law firm.

What you’re buying: deployable, editable source documents — employee, contractor and founder IP-assignment templates and IP clauses — plus guidance to implement them, built by a senior practitioner.

What it isn’t: a check of your specific setup, confirmation the documents are sufficient for your facts or jurisdiction, or an opinion on enforceability. Want your actual chain of title checked? That’s the IP Ownership Audit. Need a formal opinion or a filing? That’s a licensed lawyer.

Close the gap before the data room opens.
