I will draft US startup IP assignment and intellectual property agreements
Licensed US Attorney Expert Legal Drafting for Tech, SaaS and Startups
About this Gig
Secure your startup's most valuable assetits Intellectual Property. Drafted by a US Attorney (CA Bar #116586).
The #1 reason startups fail during Venture Capital (VC) due diligence is a broken "chain of title" regarding their Intellectual Property. If your founders, developers, or contractors haven't signed proper IP Assignment Agreements, your startup doesn't actually own its code, designs, or branding.
I draft bulletproof IP agreements that ensure your company wholly owns its creations, keeping you legally protected and attractive to investors
I provide custom drafting for:
- Founder IP Assignment Agreements
- Independent Contractor IP Assignments
- Employee Invention Assignment Agreements (PIIA)
- Mutual and Unilateral NDAs
- Technology Transfer Agreements
Don't risk your startup's future on a copy-pasted template. I will ensure your intellectual property rights are fully vested in your corporate entity under US law.
Contact me today to discuss your startup's IP needs.

FAQ
Why do I need an IP Assignment if I paid a freelancer?
Paying someone does not automatically transfer copyright or IP ownership under US law. You need a specific, written assignment contract to legally own the work.
Will these documents pass VC due diligence?
Yes. VCs and angel investors look for clear, attorney-drafted IP chains of title. These documents are designed to satisfy those requirements.
Do I need a separate agreement for founders and employees?
Yes. Founders usually transfer pre-incorporation IP to the company, while employees sign agreements covering future inventions created during their employment.
