Intellectual property ownership disputes between co-founders

Co-founders fail to document who owns created IP (software code, designs, business processes) from the beginning, leading to ownership disputes when one founder leaves or the business faces acquisition. Existing tools don't help establish IP ownership documentation proactively before disputes arise.
