Disclosure of Inventions, Works and Patents Clause Samples

The Disclosure of Inventions, Works and Patents clause requires individuals, typically employees or contractors, to promptly inform their employer or contracting party about any inventions, creative works, or patentable ideas they develop during the course of their engagement. This usually applies to inventions or works that are related to the business, created using company resources, or developed within the scope of employment.
