Materials Inventions Clause Samples
The 'Materials; Inventions' clause defines the ownership and usage rights of materials and inventions created or used during the course of a contract. Typically, it specifies whether any inventions, discoveries, or materials developed by a party—such as software, designs, or written works—will belong to the client, the contractor, or be jointly owned. This clause often outlines procedures for disclosing inventions and may require assignment of rights to the appropriate party. Its core function is to prevent disputes over intellectual property by clearly allocating rights and responsibilities regarding new materials and inventions arising from the contractual relationship.
