Owned Intellectual Property Clause Samples
The "Owned Intellectual Property" clause defines which intellectual property (IP) rights are owned by each party under an agreement. It typically clarifies that any IP created or brought into the relationship by a party before the agreement, or developed independently outside the scope of the agreement, remains the property of that party. For example, a software company’s pre-existing code or trademarks would be considered its owned IP and not transferred to the other party. This clause ensures that ownership of valuable assets is clearly established, preventing disputes over rights to inventions, works, or trademarks that predate or are unrelated to the collaboration.
