Description

The Work For Hire Addendum is a form designed to clarify the ownership rights of works created by an individual for a company. It establishes that any works produced during the agreement period are classified as 'work made for hire,' wherein the company retains exclusive copyright rights. In cases where a work does not qualify as such, the individual agrees to assign rights to the company. This document ensures that all intellectual property created in relation to the agreement is automatically owned by the company, eliminating potential disputes over ownership. Key features of this addendum include the requirement for individuals to execute necessary documents to secure the company's rights and the provision of a clear assignment of rights for any works, including trademarks and inventions. To fill out the form, users must provide their signature alongside the manager's and company representative's signatures, indicating agreement with the terms. This addendum is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it mitigates risks associated with creative works and provides a legal framework for ownership and rights protection.
