Rights to Developments Clause Samples
The "Rights to Developments" clause defines the ownership and usage rights related to any inventions, improvements, or works created during the course of a project or contractual relationship. Typically, this clause specifies whether such developments belong to the employer, client, or the individual who created them, and may outline obligations to assign intellectual property or disclose new developments. Its core function is to prevent disputes over intellectual property by clearly allocating rights to any new creations that arise from the engagement.
