A formal transfer of IP ownership, commonly used for founder-to-company assignments, contractor handovers, or transactions. Ensures the receiving party has clear, documented ownership of the IP.
What’s included:
• A consultation to understand the IP being transferred and the context.
• Drafting of an IP assignment agreement covering the IP to be assigned, warranties, further assurance obligations, and any ongoing licence-back arrangements.
• One round of revisions based on your feedback.
• Final version ready to execute.
What’s not included:
• Negotiation with the other party beyond the scope described above.
• IP registration or filing at the IPO or other registry.
• Tax advice (including VAT, corporation tax, income tax, capital gains tax, and stamp duty). If specialist tax advice is needed, I can recommend a suitable accountant or tax adviser.
FAQ
Q: When do I need an IP assignment?
A: Common situations include: a founder transferring IP created before incorporation into the company, a contractor assigning IP created during an engagement, or a business acquiring IP as part of a transaction. Without a formal assignment, ownership may be disputed.
