Legal & IP Structure

Lucaz Design’s legal framework is designed to ensure clear ownership, enforceable intellectual property protection, and structural flexibility for future investment and growth.

CORPORATE ENTITY

Lucaz Design Ltd. is a UK-based private limited company.

Ownership structure:
– Cora Lucaz — 60%
– Kristian Groth — 40%

All equity is held at the operating level under Lucaz Design Ltd.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All original creative work — including sketches, technical drawings, product designs, names, and visual identity — is created by Cora Lucaz.

Lucaz Design operates two product streams with distinct IP treatment:

CORE COLLECTION

All designs are entirely authored by Cora Lucaz.
100% of design IP remains solely with her, including future works.

LUCAZ RE:BORN

Based on acquired or licensed rights and subsequently re-developed.
IP ownership within this stream is structured as:
– 60% Cora Lucaz
– 40% Kristian Groth

IP HOLDING STRUCTURE

If required, intellectual property may be housed within a dedicated IP-holding entity and licensed to Lucaz Design Ltd. for commercial use.

This structure provides:

– Protection of creative assets
– Flexibility in future fundraising
– Clear separation between operating risk and IP ownership

INVESTOR TREATMENT OF IP

– Investors hold no claim to past, present, or future design IP
– Equity reflects ownership in the operating company only
– All agreements include an explicit IP carve-out clause
– IP protection mechanisms remain in place across all financing rounds

RAND ARCHITECTURE

Lucaz Design operates as a single brand comprising two distinct product lines:

LUCAZ DESIGN — CORE COLLECTION

Original lighting, furniture, and objects
Design IP: 100% Cora Lucaz

LUCAZ RE:BORN

Acquired and re-developed design rights
Design IP: 60% Cora Lucaz / 40% Kristian Groth

Both product lines share:

– Platform
– Infrastructure
– Packaging
– Creative direction

Commercial strategies and investor participation may differ, as outlined in Appendix D.

LEGAL SAFEGUARDS

Lucaz Design maintains comprehensive protection measures:

– Trademark registration (UK, EU, US)
– Copyright protection for key designs and visual assets
– Contractual IP clauses across all collaborators and suppliers
– Exclusive reproduction, adaptation, and distribution rights in all agreements

STRUCTURAL PRINCIPLE

The legal structure is designed to prevent ambiguity, protect creative assets, and allow commercial growth without compromising ownership clarity.
