Put Your Business IP in Order

SME IP Assurance is a joined-up workflow for reviewing how a business creates, owns, protects, licenses and uses intellectual property. It routes you through specialist AI Lawyer checks and combines the findings into a practical action plan. It is not a certification, insurance product or promise that every possible IP risk has been identified.

The bundle includes IP ownership mapping, trade mark readiness, IP contract analysis, copyright and AI-content checks, and relevant document-generation workflows. Users should enter each module through a short triage rather than complete every question automatically. The final summary should show completed checks, assumptions, evidence, unresolved issues and recommended next steps.

Yes. The bundle is designed for founders and SMEs that need a structured starting point but may not have an internal IP team. It is particularly useful when launching a brand, commissioning work, developing a product, preparing for investment or reviewing old contracts. Complex disputes and high-value transactions should be escalated for independent human review.

The Ownership Audit concentrates on assets, creators, contracts and evidence supporting ownership or permission. The SME IP Assurance bundle goes further by connecting that work with trade mark readiness, contract analysis, copyright and AI questions, and document drafting. Businesses with one narrow concern can use the individual tool without completing the full bundle.

The bundle can show what protection and evidence you have recorded, where assumptions remain and which actions deserve attention. For context, UK businesses typically rely on two families of rights: registered rights obtained from the UK Intellectual Property Office (trade marks, patents, registered designs) and automatic unregistered rights (copyright, unregistered design rights, database rights, confidentiality and trade secrets, and goodwill protected by passing off). The bundle cannot conclusively establish every right or predict what a registry, court or third party will decide.

It is UK-first and should identify England and Wales as the default legal context. It may organise issues involving Ireland, the United States, Australia or Canada, but the applicable position can differ. Cross-border findings should be labelled by jurisdiction, and important overseas rights or contracts should be referred for suitable local review.

Repeat the check-up when the business launches an important product, adopts a new brand, commissions valuable work, changes its AI tools, enters major contracts or prepares for investment or sale. Between fuller reviews, update the record whenever a significant IP asset or agreement is created. The appropriate rhythm depends on the pace of change.

Not by default. The core bundle is an AI-powered software workflow that provides legal information, drafting and contract analysis. It should clearly mark questions that may benefit from independent review. Users can book an independent legal professional through Telelegal when they want personal human input on a finding, document or decision.

You receive a consolidated action plan showing the assets and documents reviewed, important findings, unresolved questions and suggested next actions. Each finding should link back to its source workflow and state any assumptions. The report is a working business record, not a formal opinion or confirmation that no other IP issues exist.
