Background Property Clause Samples

The Background Property clause defines and distinguishes the intellectual property, materials, or assets that each party brings into an agreement prior to its commencement. Typically, this clause specifies that such pre-existing property remains the sole property of the original owner and is not transferred or affected by the agreement, even if it is used during the collaboration. For example, a software company’s proprietary code or a consultant’s existing methodologies would be considered background property. The core function of this clause is to prevent disputes by clearly identifying ownership of pre-existing assets, ensuring that only new developments or specifically agreed-upon items are subject to shared rights or obligations.
