Common use of Assignment of Intellectual Property to the Company Clause in Contracts

Assignment of Intellectual Property to the Company. I agree that all Company Intellectual Property that I make, discover, conceive, reduce to practice or develop (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others) during my employment shall be the sole property of the Company to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. However, any Intellectual Property that I make, discover, conceive, reduce to practice or develop (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others) during my employment shall not be the sole property of the Company so long as such Intellectual Property does not qualify as Company Intellectual Property. The Company shall be the sole owner of all patents, patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, trademark rights and all other intellectual property or other rights in connection with Company Intellectual Property. I hereby assign and agree to assign to the Company any and all rights, title and interest I may have or acquire in Company Intellectual Property. I agree to receive written approval from IP Counsel prior to incorporating, in any manner or fashion, any Intellectual Property not fully–owned by the Company into Company Intellectual Property. If I incorporate any Intellectual Property in which I have an interest into Company Intellectual Property or any Company product, service, or process, I hereby grant and agree to grant to the Company a royalty–free, fully paid–up, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use, market, sell and distribute any such Intellectual Property as part of or in connection with Company Intellectual Property or Company product, service or process in any media now known or later developed. Furthermore, if I incorporate, without prior written approval, any Intellectual Property in which any party other than the Company has an interest into Company Intellectual Property or any Company product, service, or process, I agree to indemnify the Company for any consequences of such incorporation.
