Intellectual Property Assignment

An IP assignment clause transfers ownership of inventions, creative works, or other IP from one party to another.

How It Works in Contracts

Essential in employment, contractor, and service contracts. Without a written assignment, the creator may retain ownership.

Examples

Software developer assigns code written during employment
Design agency assigns logo to the client upon payment
Contractor assigns patent rights for an invention
