FinePrint IP and brand work
Know who owns what your company built
Your product, your design and your brand are only yours if the paperwork says so. FinePrint Counsel’s IP & Brand teammate checks who owns each piece from your agreements, asks for missing facts, and shows the plan and the price first. Lawyers supervise the work.
Start with who created the work
A contractor built the product. An employee created the design. Another company supplied code or content. Bring the agreements that describe each person’s work and the rights your company received.
An invoice is not an ownership agreement
The agreement decides which rights the company has. FinePrint Counsel reads the documents you provide and asks for what is missing. A question that needs legal judgment waits for a lawyer’s review.

Paying for work does not answer every question about rights.
Confirm the work you want prepared
Five kinds of IP work are in the catalog: ownership records, trademarks, licenses, trade-secret protection and open-source review. Tell FinePrint Counsel which one, for which company and in which countries. It prepares the filing; the trademark office makes the decision.
- Ownership records
- Trademark work
- Licenses
- Trade-secret protection
- Open-source review
See the plan before the work begins
Before it starts, FinePrint Counsel shows the documents it will prepare, the facts it needs and what the work will cost. You decide. Legal work follows a process lawyers approved and sample-check. Work that needs additional legal judgment waits for a lawyer’s review.

Keep the agreements for the next question
The Legal Room keeps the assignments, licenses and trademark filings with the decisions behind them. When a customer or investor asks who owns your product, the answer is in one place.
Questions
Does FinePrint guarantee a trademark registration?
No. FinePrint Counsel prepares the filing. The trademark office decides, and someone else may already hold the rights.
Can we bring existing contractor agreements?
Yes. Upload them to your account. FinePrint Counsel reads them and asks about anything missing or conflicting.
