Patents Improvements Sample Clauses

The "Patents; Improvements" clause defines how rights to patents and any subsequent improvements or modifications to patented inventions are handled between the parties. Typically, this clause specifies whether improvements made to an existing patented technology during the course of an agreement will be owned by the original patent holder, jointly owned, or assigned to one of the parties. For example, if a licensee develops an enhancement to a licensed product, the clause will clarify who owns the rights to that enhancement and whether it is covered by the original license. The core function of this clause is to prevent disputes over ownership and usage rights of new inventions or improvements that arise from the collaboration, ensuring both parties understand their rights and obligations regarding intellectual property.
