DEVELOPER Proprietary Technology Clause Samples
The "DEVELOPER Proprietary Technology" clause defines and protects the ownership rights of the developer over any proprietary tools, software, processes, or technology that the developer brings to or uses during a project. Typically, this clause clarifies that such proprietary technology remains the sole property of the developer, even if it is used in the course of delivering services to the client, and may specify that the client receives only a limited license to use these tools as necessary for the project. Its core function is to prevent any transfer of ownership or unintended licensing of the developer's pre-existing intellectual property, ensuring the developer retains control and can reuse their proprietary assets in future projects.
