IP assignment agreement
Transfers ownership of IP to the company
A contract that transfers ownership of intellectual property, code, designs, content, inventions, from the person or company who created it to another party, usually the business paying for the work. Without one, Canadian default rules can leave a contractor or co-founder owning work the company assumes it already owns, which is a common surprise during financing or acquisition diligence.
