Use of Background IP and Foreground Clause Samples

The 'Use of Background IP and Foreground' clause defines how intellectual property that existed prior to the agreement (Background IP) and intellectual property developed during the course of the agreement (Foreground IP) may be used by the parties. Typically, this clause outlines the rights each party has to access, use, or license both types of IP, and may specify any limitations or obligations regarding their use. For example, it might allow one party to use the other's pre-existing technology solely for the purposes of the project, while granting joint or exclusive rights to new inventions created together. The core function of this clause is to clarify ownership and usage rights, thereby preventing disputes over intellectual property and ensuring that both parties understand how they can utilize relevant IP during and after the collaboration.
