Patent and Copyright Restrictions Clause Samples

The Patent and Copyright Restrictions clause defines the limitations and obligations regarding the use of intellectual property, specifically patents and copyrights, within the context of the agreement. It typically outlines which party retains ownership of inventions, works, or materials created or used, and may specify any licenses granted or restrictions on copying, distributing, or modifying such intellectual property. This clause serves to protect the rights of the intellectual property owner and prevent unauthorized use, ensuring that both parties are clear on their rights and responsibilities regarding patents and copyrights.

I further agree that the foregoing obligation shall continue after the termination of my employment and/or of this Agreement. If the Company is unable because of my mental or physical incapacity, or for any other reason, to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering Inventions or original works of authorship assigned to the Company as above, then I hereby irrevocable designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and, in my behalf and stead, to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.
