Operating Agreement

An Operating Agreement governs internal management and ownership rights of a limited liability company. This playbook highlights voting procedures, capital contributions, and dissolution mechanics.

Confidentiality & IP Rights

Why This Matters: Loss of confidential or IP rights can erode competitive advantage and expose the party to legal claims.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure that confidentiality obligations are clearly defined and include survival periods post-termination. Confirm that all intellectual property created under the agreement is owned by the Company.

If you're the Members:

Negotiate for a reasonable scope of confidentiality obligations and ensure that any IP rights granted are limited to the purpose of the agreement.

Essential elements

1

Confidentiality Obligations

Protects disclosed confidential information.
2

IP Ownership

Defines ownership of created IP.
3

IP Licensing

Grants rights to use IP.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if the confidentiality period is too short or IP rights are not clearly assigned.

EDIT

Reject if the clause allows for broad use of confidential information without restrictions.

ADD

Add clauses if confidentiality or IP terms are missing or insufficient.

PRO TIP

Always ensure that confidentiality obligations survive the termination of the agreement for a specified period.

Real-world examples

FAVORABLE

Strong Confidentiality Clause

"Each Party agrees to maintain in strict confidence all Confidential Information disclosed by the other Party..."
NEUTRAL

Standard IP Licensing Clause

UNFAVORABLE

Weak Confidentiality Terms

"Confidential Information may be disclosed to third parties without restrictions..."

Alternative scenarios & positions

Cross-Border Transactions

Cross-border transactions may require additional considerations for confidentiality and IP rights due to varying legal standards.

Joint Ventures

In joint ventures, ensure that IP ownership and confidentiality obligations are clearly defined to avoid disputes.

Technology Licensing

Technology licensing agreements should specify the scope of IP use and include robust confidentiality terms.
