The challenge
A pending acquisition surfaced unassigned contractor work, copyleft dependencies in the core product, and inbound licenses that did not survive a change of control.
Our approach
Chain-of-title review
Traced ownership across founders, contractors, and university collaborations, and papered the gaps.
Open-source remediation
Inventoried dependencies, isolated copyleft components, and documented compliance posture.
License restructuring
Renegotiated assignment and change-of-control terms in key inbound agreements.
