How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review an Invention Assignment Agreement in Maine

In 2025, an individual in Maine sought legal assistance with reviewing an Invention Assignment Agreement linked to a new remote employment opportunity. The client was particularly concerned about how the agreement might affect their existing business in lactation education, emphasizing the need for a Maine-licensed attorney aware of employment law and intellectual property rights. The client aimed to ensure that their pre-existing intellectual property and business activities remained protected while understanding their obligations under the agreement governed by Maine law. As a result, the client received four proposals from qualified attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $249 to $700, all promptly submitted to meet the client's deadline of less than a week.
