Each case presents a unique business challenge that requires not a template approach, but a strategic legal solution. We deliberately focus not only on the legal process itself but also on how these decisions impact the business, its development, risks, and further scaling.

The client's problem

A company with an IT product in the form of a mobile video game approached us. The task was to verify the product’s IP rights clearance before its public launch and the attraction of investments.

It was established that the game had been in development for over a year, involved more than 86 contributors, and had already incurred $1.6 million in expenses.

At the same time, no IP rights had been transferred from the developers to the company. In effect, we were dealing with an almost completed product lacking ownership rights.

Proposed solution

The IP department at Barbashyn & Partners comprehensively addressed the following areas:

  • Secured IP rights for the already developed objects
  • We prepared an IP-book featuring a detailed description of the objects, their identification, and the rights associated with them to facilitate due diligence for investors
  • We established a process for the timely transfer of rights from the product developers

The result we achieved

The IP department at Barbashyn & Partners fully resolved the intellectual property rights for a product with over 86 contributors and $1.6 million in development costs.

All previously undocumented rights were secured, a structured IP-book was prepared to simplify investor due diligence, and an automated electronic document workflow was established for the timely transfer of rights in the future.

The client received an IP-“clean” product, ready for public launch and investment attraction. Additionally, we achieved process automation, eliminating the need for monthly manual document signing and moving to a fully electronic document management system.
