When You Use It

When a startup engages a contractor to provide services – especially involving developing IP for the startup – it is crucial to define that relationship.

Unlike employment relationships, a contractor has no inherent duties to the startup, and in particular any IP created will reside with the contractor.

Clarifying service relationships at the commencement of the services provides a natural incentive to define the roles, duties and responsibilities of each party.
