Contractor IP Assignment and Work Made for Hire Agreement
A custom-drafted Contractor IP Assignment and Work Made for Hire Agreement that closes the gap that work-made-for-hire language alone leaves when a contractor creates your product.
Drafted from your facts and your transaction, not adapted from a form book. A full custom draft prepared from your transaction, your counterparty, and the risks that are actually in front of you.
Frequently asked questions
The fee covers the finished document, filing-ready or send-ready as applicable, the supporting exhibits or attachments described in the scope, and a short cover memorandum explaining the choices made. It is fixed at this scope: one contractor. 2 rounds of revisions are included. If your matter falls outside that scope we tell you before starting and quote the difference — we do not bill past a flat fee without agreeing it first.
3 to 5 business days from a complete set of instructions, plus time for the 2 rounds of revisions included in the fee. If you are working to a court deadline or a closing date, tell us when you order and we will confirm in writing whether we can meet it before you commit.
$1,300 is $325/hour × 4 hours — the time this deliverable takes in an ordinary ownership matter, at the firm's standard rate. Because it is a flat fee, the risk of the work running long sits with the firm: you pay $1,300 whether it takes us the estimate or twice it.
Third-party costs are never inside a flat fee and are passed through at cost, never marked up: court and agency filing fees, court reporter and transcript charges, expert witness fees, search vendor and e-discovery hosting charges, process server fees, and travel.
The business terms you have agreed so far, the counterparty and which side of the deal you are on, any existing draft, term sheet, or prior agreement, and your risk tolerance on the provisions that matter most to you. Send what you have — if something is missing we will tell you what else we need before the turnaround clock starts.
