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

In 2026, a business based in Rhode Island posted a project seeking assistance with drafting an amendment to an existing Independent Contractor Agreement. The client was looking to negotiate a carve-out that would allow them to retain full ownership of a fraud detection framework developed during their engagement with a nonprofit client. With a strong foundation in their relationship, the client prioritized a cooperative amendment to clearly delineate ownership rights while ensuring the nonprofit retained a broad license for continued use of the framework. As a result, the client received eight proposals from qualified lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $249 to $2000, all submitted in alignment with the client’s request for completion within one week.
