New Inventions Clause Samples
The "New Inventions" clause defines how rights to inventions or intellectual property created during the course of an agreement are handled. Typically, it specifies whether such inventions belong to the employer, the contractor, or are jointly owned, and may require prompt disclosure of any new inventions to the other party. This clause is essential for clarifying ownership and usage rights, thereby preventing future disputes over intellectual property developed during the relationship.
