IP escrow

Intellectual property escrow is a service where proprietary materials such as documentation, algorithms, architectural diagrams, or design IP are securely stored with a neutral third party. If access becomes unavailable, the materials may be released to support continuity or recovery.

IP escrow protects any intellectual property that powers your SaaS application: technical documentation, design assets, architecture diagrams, proprietary technology, algorithms, research materials, or supporting operational IP.

The depositor uploads agreed materials to the escrow agent. These are encrypted, securely stored, and maintained throughout the agreement. If a contract-defined release condition is triggered, the escrow agent validates the event and authorizes access as defined.

A deposit may include design files, documentation, diagrams, algorithms, or any proprietary materials outlined in the agreement. Only the items specified in the contract are required.

Yes. IP escrow deposits with Codekeeper are encrypted, access-controlled, and stored in ISO 27001-aligned environments. Materials are managed only through strict, contract-defined processes, with all actions limited, logged, and authorized under the agreement.

Pricing depends on verification, asset volume, and support needs. Codekeeper’s SaaS Escrow plans start at $199 per month, with optional verification and continuity add-ons available.

Choose a Codekeeper plan or book a demo, onboard as a depositor or beneficiary, and make your first deposit. Codekeeper then keeps your escrow up to date through ongoing updates and optional verification.

SaaS Escrow protects all components needed for recovery — source code, data, documents, deployment assets, and third-party dependencies. IP escrow specifically protects the proprietary materials that support or define how the SaaS application works.
