How do you handle IP? Simply. You, the customer, will own whatever we create for you, such as the design and process flow design (the sequence of steps to fabricate your device). As per US and EU patent law, if our staff contributes materially to your patent, we must be named as inventors; however, the ownership rights will be assigned to your company. If you teach us a specific proprietary process, it’s your IP and we won’t reuse it. However, if while doing your project we make improvements on existing processes we already know, then we retain the right to reuse that new know-how.
