I will draft proprietary information and invention assignment agreements
Licensed US Attorney Securing Your Startup Intellectual Property
About this Gig
Hello, I am Hunter Allen Gregg, a licensed US Attorney (Bar #64991).
If your startup hires employees or contractors, you must have them sign a Proprietary Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (PIIAA). Without a PIIAA, US law may default to granting the creator (the employee/contractor) ownership of the code, designs, or products they build while working for you.
I will draft a comprehensive, legally enforceable PIIAA that guarantees your startup owns 100% of the work product generated by your team.
This contract includes:
- Complete assignment of all inventions and IP to the startup.
- Strict confidentiality (NDA) clauses to protect trade secrets.
- Prior inventions clauses (separating what the employee previously owned).
Do not risk your startup's future on generic internet templates. Get a custom document drafted by a licensed US attorney. Order today to ensure your intellectual property remains exclusively yours.

FAQ
What is a PIIAA?
It stands for Proprietary Information and Invention Assignment Agreement. It ensures companies own what their workers create.
Do I need different agreements for employees and contractors?
Yes. US employment law treats W-2 employees and 1099 contractors differently; the legal language must reflect this.
Does this include a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)?
Yes, confidentiality is a core component built directly into the PIIAA documents I draft.
What if an employee already signed an employment contract?
You can and should have them sign a separate PIIAA as an addendum to protect your IP.
Can I reuse this document for future hires?
Yes, I draft these agreements as highly effective templates that you can reuse as your team grows.
