Why Choose PRAXIS for Joint Venture Escrow?
PRAXIS Technology Escrow understands that joint ventures often involve sharing sensitive information, proprietary technology, and critical software. Our escrow services help mitigate risks and provide assurances that the joint venture’s assets are protected. By placing essential materials in escrow, companies can ensure that their intellectual property is secure while also fulfilling contractual obligations to partners.
One of the most critical components of our escrow service is technical verification. This process ensures that the escrow deposit is complete, functional, and capable of reproducing the software or technology if a release condition occurs. Our expert team conducts thorough checks to verify that all necessary components are included, helping to prevent any potential disputes or issues down the line.
How PRAXIS Escrow Works for Non-Software Assets
PRAXIS offers a straightforward and secure process to place scientific formulas, designs, manufacturing processes, and recipes into escrow:
Escrow Agreement: A tailored agreement is created between the owner (licensor), the beneficiary (licensee), and PRAXIS. This agreement outlines the conditions for the release of the assets.
Deposit: The owner securely deposits the sensitive IP into our SOC2-compliant vault, which may include detailed documentation, physical designs, chemical formulas, proprietary process instructions, and other critical data.
Secure Storage: All deposits are stored in a secure, encrypted environment. With our automated deposit system, updates can be easily uploaded through platforms like GitHub or securely via other methods.
Release Conditions: The IP is released only under predefined conditions, such as the inability of the owner to meet obligations, business closure, or other contractual terms.
Technical Verification: PRAXIS provides optional verification services to ensure that the deposited materials are complete, correct, and functional.
Use Cases
Pharmaceutical Formulas Escrow for Joint Ventures
A biotech company is collaborating with a global pharmaceutical partner to develop a breakthrough medication. To protect both parties’ interests, the proprietary formula for the active ingredient is placed into escrow. This ensures that the formula remains secure and can be released to the pharmaceutical partner if the biotech company faces financial difficulties or fails to deliver on key milestones.
By placing the formula into escrow, the pharmaceutical company is confident in the partnership, knowing that their investment is safeguarded. The biotech company also ensures that their valuable IP is protected from unauthorized use.
Manufacturing Process Escrow for Licensing Agreements
An electronics manufacturer has developed an advanced, proprietary manufacturing process that reduces production costs while increasing product quality. The company licenses this process to an international partner but wants to ensure that the partner can continue production in the event of termination of the contract or the manufacturer’s inability to supply support.
By placing detailed documentation and instructions for the manufacturing process into escrow, the manufacturer protects its IP while giving the partner confidence that the production line won’t be disrupted in case of unexpected events. PRAXIS ensures that the process will only be released under specific conditions, such as breach of contract or bankruptcy.
Recipe Escrow for High-End Restaurant Franchises
A renowned chef has developed a series of unique recipes and proprietary cooking techniques for a high-end restaurant chain. As the restaurant expands through franchising, the recipes and techniques become key assets. The chef wants to protect these trade secrets while ensuring that the franchisees have continued access to the proprietary information.
By placing the recipes and instructions for the preparation process into escrow, the chef protects the business from unauthorized use of the recipes. Franchisees are assured that they can continue operating in the event that the chef or company ceases operations, guaranteeing business continuity.
