Our commitment to innovation and intellectual property
At Wise, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. We've invested significantly in research, development, and operational expertise to create groundbreaking proprietary technology for sending, spending and receiving money around the world. These innovations are the foundation of our success and our ability to offer customers world-class services.
We diligently safeguard our intellectual property rights, which include our trademarks, trade secrets, and copyright across the globe. This ensures that the unique solutions and technologies we develop remain ours and that we can continue to innovate without undue interference.
All Wise intellectual property, including software (app, website, API, developer tools, source code, code libraries), data, content, documentation, and branding, is the exclusive property of Wise and its licensors. These materials and our services are protected by intellectual property laws and treaties worldwide.
Respecting others while protecting ourselves
While we're committed to protecting our own innovations, we also respect the valid intellectual property rights of others.
However, we'll vigorously defend ourselves against claims that aren't applicable to our activities or are invalid. We demonstrated this commitment to defending ourselves, for example, in the case Intercurrency Software LLC v. Wise PLC, No. 2:24-cv-00976-JRG. We stood up to the patent aggressor and ultimately obtained a zero-dollar dismissal with prejudice.
By respecting others while protecting ourselves, we aim to foster a fair and competitive environment in which innovation can thrive.
