Solely Owned Inventions Clause Samples
The 'Solely Owned Inventions' clause defines which inventions created during the course of an agreement are owned exclusively by one party, rather than jointly. Typically, this clause specifies that any invention developed independently by an individual party, without significant contribution from the other, will be the sole property of the inventing party. For example, if an employee of one company invents a new technology using only their own resources, that company retains full ownership. This clause is essential for clarifying intellectual property rights, preventing disputes over ownership, and ensuring that each party retains control over its own innovations.
