Intellectual Property Legal Questions and Answers

Intellectual Property Rights Transfer Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Aug 18, 2025

Can I transfer the intellectual property rights for a product I created to another company?

I have recently developed a new product and I am considering transferring the intellectual property rights to a larger company that has the resources to manufacture and market it on a larger scale. I want to ensure that I can retain some control or receive royalties from the product's future success, and I am unsure of the legal process and implications involved in transferring the intellectual property rights to another entity.

Benjamin M.

Answered Sep 9, 2025

Yes, you can achieve this through an IP license agreement versus a sale of your IP rights. In your license you would want to protect against gray market product manufacturing and also have provisions on how to handle defective products and components during the manufacturing process. I am available for a free consultation if you would like.

Content Creator Agreement

Washington

Asked on Dec 7, 2024

Can a content creator agreement be terminated by either party at any time and without cause?

I am a content creator who recently entered into a content creator agreement with a media company. The agreement does not explicitly mention termination, and I am wondering if either party can terminate the agreement at any time and without cause. I am concerned about the potential implications of termination without cause on my rights, compensation, and intellectual property, and I would like to understand my rights and obligations under the agreement.

Merry K.

Answered Dec 24, 2024

It would be a good idea for you to have the agreement reviewed by an attorney. You said there's no explicit language regarding termination or notice - is there something implied? With no language regarding termination, most likely either party can terminate at any time, with just a moment's notice, and no reason given. You have asked a lot of questions - I suggest that you post a project here on Contracts Counsel, and ask for an attorney well versed in intellectual property (not me) to discuss your rights, as that is probably the most important issue. An attorney who can also review the language of the entire agreement would be very helpful. (I'm sorry, but I'm not available for this project).

Trademark Cease And Desist

California

Asked on Nov 3, 2024

Can I ignore a cease and desist letter for trademark infringement if I believe my use of the mark is fair use?

I recently received a cease and desist letter from a company claiming that my use of their trademark in my blog posts constitutes trademark infringement. However, I am using the mark in a descriptive manner to criticize and comment on their products, which I believe falls under fair use. I am unsure of how to proceed and whether I can ignore the cease and desist letter without facing legal consequences.

Dolan W.

Answered Dec 3, 2024

Hello! Thank you for posting this question. In your case, the other party may claim that you are infringing on their trademark, but proving it is a different case. The Lanham Act provides for a cause of action for infringement of both registered and unregistered trademarks. (15 USC Section 1114(1)(a); 15 USC Section 1125(a)(1)A).)  The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has laid out some elements to help determine whether it creates an infringement lawsuit. 1. The complaining party has to prove they have a valid, protectable trademark and that they own that trademark; 2. The complaining party must prove that a mark is similar, and it was used without the consent of the moving party in a manner that is likely to cause confusion among ordinary consumers as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or approval of the goods.  The likelihood of confusion can occur at the time of the sale, when there is initial interest by a consumer, or even after the sale, if the confusion causes a consumer to no longer buy a service or product connected to the mark. The court considers things like the strength of the original mark, whether you are using it for some fair use purpose, the similarity, the proximity of the products and marketing channels, whether there’s actual confusion, the defendant’s intent, the quality of respective products, and the sophistication of the customers. (Polaroid Corp. v. Polard Elecs. Corp. 287, F.2d. 492, 495 (2d Cir. 1961.) So what this means is that it'd have to be litigated, but you can argue you are not trying to sell products or services using their mark, but rather you are using it for some other purpose, such as to educate people about their business practices. Best of luck!

Intellectual Property Rights Agreement

New York

Asked on Aug 17, 2025

What are the key provisions to include in an Employee IP Agreement?

I am a startup founder and I recently hired a few employees to work on developing our software. While we have a general employment agreement in place, I am concerned about protecting the intellectual property (IP) rights of the company, particularly the software they will be creating. I would like to know what key provisions should be included in an Employee IP Agreement to ensure that the company retains ownership of the IP developed by the employees.

Randy M.

Answered Sep 8, 2025

Here’s how I’d approach structuring an Employee IP Agreement if your goal is to protect your company’s intellectual property without running into enforceability issues under U.S. law. Covering Core IP OwnershipCovering Core IP Ownership First, start with a “work made for hire” clause. It’s a good foundation, but it’s not enough on its own. Under U.S. copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 101), only certain types of work qualify as “made for hire,” and many employee-created assets may fall outside that definition. So you’ll want to pair it with a present-tense assignment clause. Be specific here. Use language like “the employee hereby assigns” rather than “will assign.” That slight shift matters. It ensures the company owns the rights immediately when the work is created. Also, define “intellectual property” broadly. Don’t just list patents or source code. Include software, algorithms, documentation, trade secrets, databases, and anything tied to your business. The scope should clearly include anything created during work hours, using company tools or systems, or connected to your current or future business operations. Disclosure and Documentation You’ll want to require employees to promptly disclose any inventions or creative works they produce. Put it in writing. This gives your company the chance to evaluate whether the work is covered under the agreement. It’s also a good idea to require them to maintain proper documentation. Accurate records can make a real difference in patent filings or if a dispute ever comes up. Pre-Existing IP and Legal Carve-Outs There should be a section where employees list anything they’ve developed or own before joining the company. If they don’t list anything, the agreement should include language confirming they’re representing that no such prior inventions exist. This prevents claims down the road that something developed during employment was actually theirs from before. Now, depending on your state, you may need to include statutory carve-outs. California, Illinois, and Washington all have laws that limit how far IP assignment clauses can go. For example, in California, you’re required to carve out inventions developed entirely on the employee’s own time, without company resources, and unrelated to your business (see California Labor Code § 2870). Without that carve-out, your entire assignment provision could be thrown out. Confidentiality Obligations Make sure there’s a strong confidentiality section. This should cover source code, technical documentation, designs, product plans, customer lists, financial data, and anything else proprietary. Make it clear that the obligation continues even after the employee leaves. You’ll also want to require that all company property and digital assets are returned at the end of employment, including devices, credentials, and files. Ongoing Cooperation and Enforcement Mechanisms Include a clause requiring employees to cooperate in IP protection efforts even after they leave. That could mean signing patent paperwork or providing testimony if needed. To make that enforceable, add a power of attorney clause. This gives the company the authority to act on the employee’s behalf if they’re unwilling or unreachable. It’s a simple way to prevent delays when you’re trying to secure or enforce rights. It’s also smart to include a waiver of moral rights where allowed. This is especially useful for creative works and software. It gives the company full freedom to modify or use the work without needing future approval. Legal Remedies and General Terms Be clear that the company can pursue equitable relief, like an injunction, if there’s a violation. Sometimes monetary damages aren’t enough to prevent harm. Include a severability clause so that if one part of the agreement is invalidated, the rest still stand. Don’t forget to specify the governing law and venue for any disputes. As for restrictive covenants, keep in mind that non-compete clauses are unenforceable in California and heavily restricted elsewhere. Non-solicitation clauses may still be allowed, but they need to be narrowly written. You should have your legal team confirm their enforceability based on your state. Finally, think about consideration. For new hires, the job offer itself usually counts. But for existing employees, you’ll likely need to offer something extra, like a bonus or promotion, to make the agreement stick.
