Work Product Clause Example from Business Contracts

Work Product. Executive agrees that all of Executive's work product (created solely or jointly with others, and including any intellectual property or moral rights in such work product), given, disclosed, created, developed or prepared in connection with Executive's employment with the Company ("Work Product") shall exclusively vest in and be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and shall constitute "work made for hire" (as that term is defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. ...§ 101) with the Company being the person for whom the work was prepared. In the event that any Work Product is deemed not to be a "work made for hire" or does not vest by operation of law in the Company, Executive hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys to the Company, exclusively and perpetually, all right, title and interest that Executive may have or acquire in and to Work Product throughout the world, including without limitation any copyrights and patents, and the right to secure registrations, renewals, reissues, and extensions thereof. The Company or its designees shall have the exclusive right to make full and complete use of, and make changes to all Work Product without restrictions or liabilities of any kind, and Executive shall not have the right to use any such materials, other than within the legitimate scope and purpose of Executive's employment with the Company. Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company the creation or existence of any Work Product and shall take whatever additional lawful action may be necessary, and sign whatever documents the Company may require, in order to secure and vest in the Company, or its designees all right, title and interest in and to all Work Product and any intellectual property rights therein (including full cooperation in support of any Company applications for patents and copyright or trademark registrations).
