Collaborating as a team on an IP case
A creation made by several hands raises one question before all others: who owns it? The case file answers that, contribution by contribution.
Working together
Ownership, contributions, traceability of input.
Ownership, documented at the source
Founders, employees, freelancers, contractors: each contribution is attributed to its author at the moment it is timestamped. Ownership is often a gray area in due diligence, and it is costly to reconstruct after the fact.
Joint works and related assets
Successive versions, mockups, work sessions, visuals, code iterations: the Creative Session Registry can be shared among several contributors (optional). Each deposited step receives its own date: by also depositing your prompts and edits, you document your own work alongside generative AI input.
Roles, sharing and multiple authors
Case files can be shared among team members with distinct roles. Each deposit can carry several authors, individuals or legal entities, and keeps its date, its authors and its registry reference. This history helps demonstrate the reasonable protective measures required by trade secret law.
→Co-authors declared and timestamped with each deposit
→Every version and contribution kept with its own date
→Contributions from generative AI tracked separately
→Team roles and multiple authors
Common situations
Who owns what: three frequent cases
The ownership question arises differently depending on the relationship between contributors.
Between co-founders
Before the company is formed, each person contributes ideas, code, mock-ups. Dating these contributions and planning their transfer to the company prevents a departing partner from claiming part of the assets.
With employees
Software created by an employee in the course of their duties belongs to the employer (Article L113-9 of the French Intellectual Property Code). For other creations, the employment contract is not always enough: a suitable clause is still needed.
With freelancers and contractors
A creation commissioned from a contractor remains, in principle, the property of its author, unless there is a written assignment specifying the rights assigned (Article L131-3). Date each deliverable you receive, and keep the contract with the file.
Best practices
A team file with no gray areas
A few habits are enough for a collective file to withstand an audit or a disagreement.
Declare co-authors at each deposit
Record who contributed when you timestamp, rather than reconstructing it months later.
Date each key stage
A contractor's delivery, the end of a sprint, a version shown to a client: each dated stage fixes the state of the work and each person's contribution.
Attach contracts to the file
Rights assignments, confidentiality agreements, shareholder agreements: added to the file, they complement the dated proof and answer the questions of an acquirer or investor.
