INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IN COMMERCIAL CONTRACTS

Protect the IP
behind the deal.

Even a contract that is not described as an IP transaction may need to decide who owns existing IP, who owns new work, who may use it, for what purpose, where, for how long, whether sublicensing is allowed, and what happens after termination.

01

Who owns existing IP?

02

Who owns newly created IP?

03

Who can use it—and for what?

04

What survives termination?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions before
you sign.

Clear drafting starts with the actual deal, the operational reality and the risks that matter most to the business.

Why should a business use written commercial agreements?

Written agreements document responsibilities, commercial terms, risk allocation, remedies and dispute mechanisms, reducing uncertainty if disagreements arise.

Can I use the same template for every customer?

A standard template can help, but material terms may need to change for the transaction, customer, jurisdiction, service, risk profile and business model.

What should I check before signing?

Common areas include scope, pricing, payment, performance, warranties, liability, indemnities, IP ownership, confidentiality, termination, governing law and dispute resolution.

What is an MSA?

A Master Service Agreement establishes the main legal terms for an ongoing relationship. Individual projects may then use Statements of Work or similar project documents.

Is an NDA enough to protect my IP?

Not always. An NDA mainly addresses confidentiality. Ownership, licensing, assignment, permitted use, new IP and post-termination rights may require separate provisions.

What happens if the other party breaches?

Options depend on the contract, law, breach, evidence and loss. Review the agreement first to identify contractual and legal remedies.

Should contracts specify arbitration or court jurisdiction?

These provisions should be considered during drafting. The suitable mechanism depends on the transaction, parties, jurisdictions, value and likely dispute types.

Can IntellexEmpire review a counterparty contract?

Yes. We can identify obligations, material risks, unusual terms, negotiation points and proposed amendments before execution.
