Rights to Work Product The Employee agrees that all work performed by the Employee pursuant hereto shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company, in whatever stage of development or completion. With respect to any copyrightable works prepared in whole or in part by the Employee pursuant to this Agreement, including compilations of lists or data, the Employee agrees that all such works will be prepared as “work-for-hire” within the meaning of the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended (the “Act”), of which the Company shall be considered the “author” within the meaning of the Act. In the event (and to the extent) that such works or any part or element thereof is found as a matter of law not to be a “work-for-hire” within the meaning of the Act, the Employee hereby assigns to the Company the sole and exclusive right, title and interest in and to all such works, and all copies of any of them, without further consideration, and agrees, to the extent reasonable under the circumstances, to cooperate with the Company to register, and from time to time to enforce, all patents, copyrights and other rights and protections relating to such works in any and all countries. To that end, the Employee agrees to execute and deliver all documents requested by the Company in connection therewith, and the Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company as the Employee’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on behalf of the Employee and in the Employee’s stead to execute, register and file any such applications, and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the registration, protection and issuance of patents, copyrights or similar protections with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Employee. The Company shall reimburse the Employee for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Employee pursuant to this Section 11.
