IP Ownership Agreement
Last updated: March 2026
Plain English
Everything Pre. builds inside your business belongs to you. The playbooks, dashboards, systems, automations, and code — yours whether you continue with Pre. or not. This document makes that unambiguous.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AGREEMENT
This IP Ownership Agreement (this "Agreement") supplements the Engagement Agreement between Pre. Operations Inc. ("Pre.") and [COMPANY NAME] ("Company") dated [DATE] and is incorporated therein by reference.
1. ASSIGNMENT OF WORK PRODUCT
Pre. hereby irrevocably assigns to Company all right, title, and interest throughout the world in and to all Work Product created by Pre. or Pre.'s pod members specifically for Company during the Engagement, including:
(a) All software code, scripts, automations, and technical implementations;
(b) All documents, playbooks, frameworks, and processes created specifically for Company's use;
(c) All KPI dashboards, reporting systems, and data models;
(d) All GTM systems, sales processes, and customer communication frameworks;
(e) All creative works, designs, and written materials;
(f) All intellectual property rights in any of the above, including copyrights, trade secrets, and any other proprietary rights.
2. PRE. RETAINED RIGHTS
Pre. retains ownership of the following (the "Pre. IP"):
(a) Pre.'s proprietary diagnostic methodology and scoring models;
(b) Pre.'s general operating playbooks and frameworks that are not created specifically for Company;
(c) Pre.'s AI tools, systems, and platforms;
(d) General learnings and patterns derived from multiple engagements, provided no Company-specific information is identifiable.
Where Work Product incorporates Pre. IP, Pre. grants Company a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, copy, modify, and distribute such Pre. IP solely as incorporated in the Work Product.
3. MORAL RIGHTS
To the extent permitted by law, Pre. waives all moral rights in the Work Product in favor of Company. Where such waiver is not permitted by law, Pre. agrees not to exercise such rights against Company or its successors.
4. COOPERATION
Pre. agrees to execute any additional documents and take any further actions reasonably requested by Company to perfect, record, or enforce Company's ownership rights in the Work Product.
5. NO ENCUMBRANCES
Pre. represents and warrants that: (a) Pre. has the full right and authority to assign the Work Product to Company; (b) the Work Product is and will be free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances; (c) the Work Product will not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights; and (d) Pre. has not previously assigned, transferred, or licensed any rights in the Work Product to any third party.
6. WORK FOR HIRE
To the extent any Work Product qualifies as a "work made for hire" under applicable copyright law, it shall be deemed a work made for hire owned by Company. To the extent any Work Product does not qualify as a work made for hire, it is subject to the assignment provisions above.
