To the extent that any copyrightable work prepared by Contractor is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a “work made for hire,” Contractor hereby assigns to the Company all right, title and interest in and to any such work, and Company shall have the right to register and hold in its own name any copyrights, registrations and other proprietary rights that may be available in respect of such work. As used in this Agreement, a work shall be “within the scope of Contractor’s engagement by the Company” if it is prepared or created, in whole or in part, during the period of Contractor’s engagement by the Company, and directly or indirectly (i) results from work performed by Contractor for the Company, or (ii) is useful in or related to Contractor’s work for or engagement by the Company.
2.

Contractor irrevocably assigns, and agrees to assign, the Assigned Inventions to the Company. In addition to the foregoing assignment of Assigned Inventions to the Company, Contractor irrevocably transfers and assigns to the Company: (i) all worldwide patents, patent applications, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights, including but not limited to rights in databases, in any Assigned Inventions, along with any registrations of or applications to register such rights; and (ii) any and all moral rights that Contractor has or may have in or with respect to any Assigned Inventions.
