Founding Intellectual Property
“Founder” is not a presumption of ownership. Founding Intellectual Property covers only individualised assets, rights and contractual positions that have been audited and demonstrated under applicable law.

What may be included
Code, architecture and documentation, trademarks, domains, works, database rights where protectable, trade secrets, know-how, designs, inventions, models and other intellectual interests — but only to the extent that the right exists and the chain of title is proven.
What never becomes founding property merely because it is in the system
- Personal data of citizens and residents.
- The Civil Registry and the Republic’s other official registers.
- Institutional keys and credentials.
- Public assets.
- Third-party rights, free/open-source software to the extent it remains a third-party right, and public-domain content.
- Abstract ideas, methods, facts and unprotectable functionality.
Continuity licence ≠ automatic transfer
A private component indispensable to a sovereign function must be covered by a legally enforceable right to operate, copy, correct, audit, adapt, migrate and recover it. That continuity licence does not by itself transfer ownership and need not be free of charge.
A private dispute may not interrupt essential Candeian functions
Litigation over a licence, remuneration or title does not authorise withholding public data, destroying a system or suppressing legal existence. Continuity also does not extinguish a legitimate claim: the dispute goes to the competent Judiciary.
