Partnership Agreement

A Partnership Agreement defines the rights, duties, and profit-sharing arrangements among business partners. This playbook explores governance, capital contributions, and dispute resolution.

Confidentiality and IP

Why This Matters: Safeguarding IP and confidential data protects competitive advantage and prevents misuse.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Ensure that confidentiality obligations are comprehensive and enforceable. Clarify IP ownership and licensing terms to align with the company's strategic goals.

If you're the Seller:

Negotiate for clear exceptions to confidentiality obligations where necessary for legal compliance. Seek favorable terms for IP usage post-transaction.

Essential elements

1

Confidentiality Obligations

Maintain strict confidentiality of information.
2

IP Ownership

Define ownership of pre-existing and developed IP.
3

IP Licensing

Grant licenses for IP usage under agreement.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if confidentiality terms are too broad or vague.

EDIT

Reject if IP ownership terms are inequitable or unclear.

ADD

Add clauses if confidentiality or IP terms are missing.

PRO TIP

Always ensure that IP clauses are tailored to the specific transaction to avoid future disputes.

Real-world examples

FAVORABLE

Comprehensive Confidentiality Clause

"Each party agrees to maintain in strict confidence all confidential information disclosed by the other party..."
NEUTRAL

Standard IP Licensing Clause

"Each party grants to the other party a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license..."
UNFAVORABLE

Ambiguous IP Ownership Terms

"Ownership of intellectual property developed during the agreement is not clearly defined..."

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, ensure confidentiality clauses are robust to protect sensitive data from potential breaches.

Joint Ventures

In joint ventures, clearly define joint IP ownership to reflect contributions and future usage rights.

Cross-Border Transactions

In cross-border transactions, consider local IP laws and confidentiality standards to ensure compliance.
