Intellectual Property Rights Transfer Agreement
Georgia
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.
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.
Intellectual Property
Work For Hire Agreement
Texas
Can an employer claim ownership of intellectual property created by an employee under a Work For Hire Agreement?
I recently started a new job where I am expected to create original content as part of my role. I was asked to sign a Work For Hire Agreement that states any intellectual property I create during my employment will be owned by the company. However, I have concerns about this arrangement as I have invested significant time and resources into developing my creative skills and worry that my work may be undervalued or exploited without proper compensation or recognition. I would like to understand if the employer can legitimately claim ownership of my intellectual property under the Work For Hire Agreement, and if there are any steps I can take to protect my rights while still meeting my employment obligations.
Sara S.
Hi, Yes, intellectual property created by you as an employee, within the scope of your employment, under a work-for-hire agreement, probably belongs to your employer. To learn more about your rights under the agreement and any exceptions, you should consult with a qualified attorney.

Trademark
Massachusetts
Can I trademark the name of my software?
Can I trademark the name of my software if the same name is already trademarked in a different country/state? I am starting up a FinTech company right now and I am trying to trademark the name of my mobile app; however, after some searching, I realized that a company in the UK has already trademarked the same name. It is also a company that makes a mobile app in the FinTech industry - just in a different area of interest. Are there any suggestions for how I would go about trademarking the name of my software, or do I have to come up with a different name?
Roman V.
Yes, it's generally possible to trademark the name of your software, as long as it is not a generic name or descriptive of the product. You should also do a clearance search to make sure no other company is using the same or similar name for similar services. I would be glad to discuss more details and help with the trademark process. Thanks.
Intellectual Property
Asset Purchase Agreement
North Carolina
How are intellectual properties handled in an asset purchase agreement?
I am looking to purchase a business that includes intellectual property and I want to ensure that it is properly handled in the asset purchase agreement. I am concerned that the intellectual property may not be properly transferred to me in the agreement and I want to make sure that the agreement is legally binding and that I will be the rightful owner of the intellectual property after the purchase.
N'kia N.
Although not necessarily required, the parties to an asset purchase agreement oftentimes find that it is in their best interests to work with a knowledgeable intellectual property attorney. The attorney can negotiate and draft the parts of the agreement that pertain specifically to intellectual property. The attorney can also assist with the parts of the agreement that do not appear to affect intellectual property but have the potential to. If you are considering an asset purchase agreement that involves intellectual property, you should also consider hiring an intellectual property attorney.
Intellectual Property
Content Creator Agreement
Washington
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.
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).
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
