Intellectual Property Services for Regtech

Simplifying compliance is the driving force behind RegTech solutions, yet such software, data processing methods and user interfaces require careful intellectual property consideration from dedicated legal experts.

Panoramix IP is here to assist you in establishing a solid defence by focusing on multiple forms of intellectual property no matter what stage your business is in. Where patentability is an option for you, we’ll pursue it. Simultaneously, any brand identity built around your RegTech platform deserves a strong trade mark strategy to ensure no infringement occurs where a competitor could benefit from your goodwill or brand reputation with your customers or audience. Design rights can come into play if the system’s dashboard or visual presentation stands out, while trade secrets might apply to data analytics or proprietary reporting algorithms.

First rate IP lawyers

I always recommend my clients use Panoramix when they are looking into any IP or trademarking matters for their companies, regardless of whether it’s for the UK, EU or another territory. The team are absolutely first rate, extremely knowledgeable and very professional in all their dealings.

Many business owners are not certain of what they can and can’t register as IP/TM, so Kevin and his team guide them through what can be a minefield, brilliantly.

FAQs

What intellectual property should a RegTech company protect?

RegTech companies may hold valuable IP in compliance software, monitoring platforms, data-processing technology, automated reporting tools, algorithms, interfaces and brands. These assets can require a combination of copyright, confidentiality, trade marks, design rights and, for qualifying technical innovations, patents. Panoramix IP’s software IP protection services can help protect both the underlying technology and the know-how that makes the solution commercially distinctive.

Can RegTech software be patented?

Potentially. Automating a regulatory or business process is not enough on its own, but software that makes a genuine technical contribution may qualify for patent protection. Innovations involving technical data processing, security, system architecture or other technical functionality may therefore be worth assessing as part of a wider patent strategy.

How can RegTech companies protect compliance algorithms and proprietary models?

Protection may involve copyright in software code, confidentiality and trade-secret measures for algorithms and know-how, and patents where the underlying technology qualifies. Because RegTech providers often integrate their systems with clients and external data sources, confidentiality agreements and appropriate contractual restrictions can also help prevent unauthorised disclosure or reuse.

Who owns IP created when a RegTech provider develops a solution for a client?

The contract should make this explicit. A RegTech provider will usually want to retain ownership of its core platform and pre-existing technology while defining what happens to bespoke developments created for the client. Clearly separating background IP, newly created IP and customer-specific data or materials through appropriate IP contracts can prevent a bespoke project unintentionally restricting the provider’s ability to use its technology elsewhere.

What IP issues should RegTech businesses consider when scaling internationally?

IP protection should grow alongside the markets in which the business operates. Trade marks may need to be registered in new territories, patent strategies reviewed for key technical markets, and software licences and collaboration agreements adapted for cross-border use. Panoramix IP’s international IP services can help businesses plan protection before entering a new market rather than trying to recover rights afterwards.
