IP Assignment Agreement
For transferring ownership of code, designs, content, or inventions — closing the exact gaps most commissioned-work arrangements leave open.
- Non-lapsing assignment — overrides the Section 19(4) one-year default
- Full copyright term and worldwide territory — not the 5-year, India-only default
- Separate patent assignment framework for inventions
- Moral rights waiver to the maximum extent permitted by law

Businesses commissioning work
Hiring a freelancer or agency for software, design, or content, and need genuine, complete ownership — not just usage rights.
Founders formalising past work
Realising that early-stage work was never properly assigned in writing, and closing that gap before it becomes a dispute.
What we actually checked, and when.
1. Update the jurisdiction. This template is drafted with placeholder city/state fields — replace them with your own business's actual location, not any example city shown in the document.
2. Print on valid stamp paper. This PDF is a drafting template, not an executable legal document on its own. Under the Indian Stamp Act, most agreements need to be printed on physical stamp paper (or e-stamped) of the correct value for your state before signing — an unstamped agreement may be inadmissible as evidence until the deficiency is paid. Confirm the correct stamp duty and process for your state before execution.
Get notified if a law affecting this template changes
₹149/year. If anything in the Verification Passport above changes — a new notification, an amended threshold, a court ruling — you'll get a plain-language email explaining what changed and what to do about it. Cancel anytime; this is a manual, personally-reviewed service while we're still small.
