Flat Fee · Attorney Drafted · New York Law
Confidentiality & IP Assignment Agreement: $349 flat, drafted by a New York attorney.
Make sure your company owns what your team builds. For employees and contractors.
Who this is for: Startups and small companies whose employees or contractors touch the product, the code, or the customer list.
The document investors ask about first.
In any financing or acquisition, diligence asks one early question: does the company actually own its IP? If anyone wrote code or created work without signing an assignment, the honest answer is maybe. This agreement closes that gap for each employee and contractor: assignment of work product, work-for-hire language, moral-rights waiver, and a cooperation clause with power of attorney so a departed worker cannot hold your patent filing hostage.
Confidentiality that survives.
Company information stays protected for three years after departure, trade secrets for as long as they remain trade secrets, with the federal whistleblower and Defend Trade Secrets Act notices modern agreements need.
No non-compete, on purpose.
New York courts disfavor them and the legislature keeps trying to ban them. This agreement protects you through ownership and confidentiality instead, the clauses that courts actually enforce.
Checkout takes a minute: start your confidentiality & ip assignment agreement, pay the $349 flat fee, then answer the short intake. The flat fee is the whole price, and you see the engagement terms before you pay.
Questions people ask us.
Should existing team members sign this?
Yes, and sooner beats later. For current employees, continued employment plus this agreement is the standard approach in New York; the attorney will flag anything that needs more.
Employee and contractor versions differ?
One question on the intake sets which you get. The core assignment is the same; the recitals and status language differ.
What are prior inventions?
Things the worker built before you that they should keep, listed so the line between theirs and yours is drawn on day one instead of in litigation.
