Contracts & Intellectual Property

This practice focuses on the protection of intangible assets and the structuring of solid commercial agreements for companies, particularly technology-driven businesses. It includes the protection, registration, and assignment of intellectual property (IP); drafting of SaaS licensing agreements and Service Level Agreements (SLAs); Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs); Terms of Service (ToS); privacy policies and data compliance documentation; agreements with founders, employees, and technology contractors; software licensing and open-source agreements; and legal audits of intangible assets for due diligence purposes.

Protection of intangible assets refers to legally securing ideas, software, trademarks, designs, copyrights, and other non-physical assets that generate competitive value. Kaplan Abogados structures and registers these rights to ensure they are clearly assigned to the company and protected against unauthorized use.

SaaS licensing agreements and SLAs are essential to define how a technology service is delivered, accessed, and maintained, what level of service is guaranteed to clients, how response times are measured, what support is provided, and how potential breaches are handled. This reduces operational and legal risks and strengthens commercial trust.

An NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) protects confidential information shared between parties before or during a commercial or technical relationship. By contrast, Terms of Service regulate the relationship between a digital platform or product and its end users, establishing rights, obligations, and conditions of use.

A legal audit of intangible assets helps identify risks, ownership gaps, prior contractual obligations, and potential issues before closing commercial agreements, receiving investment, or entering into a sale process. Proper due diligence allows companies to anticipate contingencies and strengthen their negotiating position.

This IP-first approach seeks to ensure that a company's intellectual property rights are properly structured and assigned to the appropriate legal entity, which is a common requirement for investors and venture capital funds. Proper IP ownership facilitates fundraising rounds and prevents issues during due diligence and financing processes.

Yes. This practice includes drafting and reviewing employment agreements, founder agreements, and technology contractor agreements, with a particular focus on ensuring the proper assignment and transfer of intellectual property rights generated within those relationships.

In addition to drafting customized agreements, Kaplan Abogados develops contract templates and scalable contractual processes that grow alongside the company's commercial operations. This helps streamline negotiations and ensure legal consistency when entering into multiple agreements with clients or suppliers.
