Prior Uses Clause Samples
The "Prior Uses" clause defines how any intellectual property, materials, or technologies that a party owned or used before entering into the agreement are treated. Typically, this clause clarifies that such pre-existing assets remain the property of the original owner and are not automatically transferred or licensed to the other party through the new agreement. For example, if a company brings proprietary software or patented processes into a collaboration, those assets are protected from unintended transfer. The core function of this clause is to prevent disputes over ownership by clearly distinguishing between pre-existing assets and those developed during the course of the agreement.
