Intellectual property

Software License Agreement (Software License): A software license agreement lets a user run software under defined conditions while the vendor keeps ownership. Typical terms include the license grant, restrictions, fees, IP, warranties, and liability. Use it for on-prem or licensed software, not for a hosted subscription.

IP Assignment Agreement (IP Assignment): An IP assignment agreement transfers copyrights, patents, or other intellectual property from the assignor to the assignee, usually for a stated consideration, with further-assurances language so the paperwork can be completed later. Common in contractor close-out, founder contributions, and work-product cleanup.
