Employee Confidentiality and Invention Assignment Agreement (Short Form)
A streamlined Employee Confidentiality and Invention Assignment Agreement that makes sure what your employees create belongs to the company, subject to the statutory carve-outs, focused on the terms that carry the risk.
You get a document a counterparty will actually sign this week rather than negotiate for a month. A shorter agreement for a transaction that does not warrant the full protective set, drafted so nothing load-bearing is missing.

Frequently asked questions
The fee covers a streamlined draft covering the provisions that carry the risk, a note listing the optional provisions left out, so the trade-off is yours, and an editable word file and a clean pdf. It is fixed at this scope: one form. 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.
$725 is $325/hour × 2.25 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 $725 whether it takes us the estimate or twice it.
2 rounds of revisions are included. You can add more when you order, or later, at $325 per additional round. A round is one consolidated set of your comments and our revised draft back to you.
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.
