About this Gig
Investors and acquirers will walk away from funding rounds and M&A deals if your company cannot prove a 100% unbroken chain of title for its intellectual property.
I am a licensed US Attorney. I draft comprehensive Intellectual Property Assignment Agreements and Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreements (PIIA) to legally transfer software, designs, trademarks, and inventions from founders, employees, or contractors to your entity.
What This Agreement Secures:
- Complete Title Transfer: Explicit assignment of all worldwide copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and domain names.
- Statutory Compliance: Drafted to satisfy the strict written assignment requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 204 (US Copyright Act) and 35 U.S.C. § 261 (US Patent Act).
- Moral Rights Waivers: Irrevocable waiver of moral rights ("droit moral") to prevent creators from blocking modifications or derivatives.
- Power of Attorney & Further Assurances: Irrevocable power of attorney authorizing the company to perfect and register IP if the assignor becomes unavailable.
- Past & Future Assignments: Closing gaps for code created before the formal company was registered.

FAQ
Why is an IP Assignment essential for tech startups?
By default under US law, the human author owns the copyright from the moment of creation. Without a written assignment, your company does not own its software, which will stall VC funding or company acquisition due diligence.
Can this agreement assign IP that was built before the company was formally incorporated?
Yes. I include retroactive assignment language and ratifications that capture all past code, designs, and prototypes developed prior to company formation.
What is a "Further Assurances" clause?
It obligates the assignor to sign patent applications, copyright registrations, or other legal filings in the future to assist the company in enforcing its IP rights.
What is the purpose of the Power of Attorney provision?
It allows the company to act as the assignor’s agent to execute IP filings if the former founder or contractor cannot be located or refuses to cooperate post-separation.
Does this cover international contractors?
Yes. The assignment includes worldwide IP transfer language and explicit waivers of statutory moral rights recognized in international jurisdictions (e.g., Europe, UK, Canada).
Can this agreement be used for employee onboarding (PIIA)?
Yes. The Standard and Premium tiers can be structured as an employee or contractor Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (PIIA) for recurring onboarding use.
