Assignment and Ownership of Intellectual Property Sample Clauses

The "Assignment and Ownership of Intellectual Property" clause establishes who holds the rights to intellectual property (IP) created during the course of an agreement. Typically, it specifies whether IP developed by one party, such as inventions, designs, or written materials, will be automatically transferred to the other party or remain with the creator. For example, in an employment or contractor context, this clause may require that all work-related IP produced by the employee or contractor is assigned to the employer or client. Its core function is to prevent disputes over IP ownership by clearly defining who owns the rights to any creations resulting from the relationship.
