Business Intellectual Property Clause Samples
The Business Intellectual Property clause defines the ownership, use, and protection of intellectual property (IP) created or used in the course of business activities. Typically, it clarifies whether IP developed by employees, contractors, or through collaboration belongs to the business, and may outline procedures for disclosing inventions or handling third-party IP. This clause is essential for safeguarding a company's proprietary assets, ensuring that valuable creations and innovations remain under the business's control, and preventing disputes over IP rights.
