How a Computer Software Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft an IP Assignment Agreement in Florida

In 2022, a business in Florida sought assistance with drafting an intellectual property assignment agreement. The client had developed a prototype software as a service (SaaS) product and needed to ensure that all intellectual property created by a contractor during the development phase was fully protected. The priority was to establish clear ownership rights over the software code and related documentation to safeguard the extensive work already invested in the project. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $525 to $1,000, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than one week.
