Ownership of Custom Software Clause Samples
The "Ownership of Custom Software" clause establishes who holds the rights to software specifically developed under a contract. Typically, this clause clarifies whether the client or the developer will own the source code, documentation, and any related intellectual property created during the project. For example, it may state that all deliverables, including code and design, become the property of the client upon payment, or alternatively, that the developer retains certain rights while granting the client a license to use the software. The core function of this clause is to prevent disputes over intellectual property by clearly defining ownership and usage rights for custom-developed software.
