Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before creating your document.

Does this template work for both employees and contractors?+

Yes. You can indicate whether the creator is an employee, contractor or founder. The assignment language is broad enough to capture work product created under different engagement models, while still being compatible with typical employment IP provisions.

How does the template handle future intellectual property?+

If you select that future IP is included, the agreement provides that IP created during the engagement automatically vests in the Assignee and includes further assurance language to record and perfect such rights over time.

Is moral rights waiver enforceable in India?+

Indian law recognises moral rights but allows parties to agree on non-assertion and consents in practice. The template frames moral rights control as non-assertion or consent, rather than claiming an outright waiver, which is generally more aligned with Indian jurisprudence.
