The Role of Escrow in Protecting Intellectual Property Rights during Business Deals
Intellectual property (IP) is one of the most valuable assets a business can own. Whether it's a software license, a creative design, or proprietary tech, ensuring IP isn't stolen or misused during a deal is critical. Escrow can protect it.
What’s at Stake? When licensing or selling IP, businesses face the risk of:
-
Unauthorized duplication
-
Breach of confidentiality
-
Non-payment
How Escrow Safeguards IP
-
IP assets (code, documents, patents) are stored securely.
-
Release conditions are agreed upon in advance.
-
Only after payment or contract fulfillment is the IP handed over.
Common Use Cases
-
SaaS platform deals
-
Film/TV licensing agreements
-
Technology transfers
With Safepay4U, both parties have assurance: sellers retain control of their IP, and buyers know they’ll get what they paid for—safely and securely.
