Local Planning Notes
Sheridan College Area IP planning should separate creator ownership, business ownership, collaboration rights, and confidential information.
Startups should assign founder-created IP
Names, domains, pitch decks, source code, prototypes, content, and customer materials should be owned by the right entity.
Collaboration and portfolio rights should be written down
Joint projects, sponsored content, client work, student-adjacent collaborations, and portfolio use can create confusion if terms are informal.

Common Questions
Intellectual property questions Sheridan College Area clients often ask.
Is this page affiliated with Sheridan College?
No. This page refers to the surrounding service area only and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Sheridan College.
Can creator portfolio work be reused by a business?
It depends on the agreement, ownership, licence scope, confidentiality, releases, and whether client or third-party rights are involved.
Should a startup assign founder content and code to the company?
Often yes. The company should usually own or clearly license the assets it relies on for operation, financing, or sale.
