PLAYBOOK TEMPLATES
Cloud Services Agreement
A Cloud Services Agreement defines the legal and operational framework for cloud infrastructure or platform usage. This playbook outlines negotiation of service levels, data handling, and termination assistance provisions.
Intellectual Property Rights
Negotiation strategy
Ensure that all pre-existing IP and any modifications remain with the Company. Negotiate for a broad license to use, modify, and distribute any deliverables.
Secure rights to use and improve upon the deliverables. Protect any proprietary technology or methods from being transferred without adequate compensation.
Essential elements
1
Ownership of IP
Defines who owns created IP.
2
License Grant
Outlines rights to use IP.
3
Confidentiality
Protects sensitive information.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if the IP ownership terms do not align with strategic goals or if the license grant is too restrictive.
EDIT
Reject clauses that fail to protect pre-existing IP or impose unreasonable restrictions on use.
ADD
Add clauses to address any missing elements such as indemnification or termination rights.
PRO TIP
Always ensure that IP rights are clearly defined to avoid future disputes and ensure operational freedom.
Real-world examples
FAVORABLE
Clear Ownership Clause
"All intellectual property rights in the software, data, and other deliverables created or used under this contract shall remain the property of the party that created or supplied them."
NEUTRAL
Standard License Grant
"Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the party owning the intellectual property hereby grants the other party a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, modify, and distribute the software, data, and other deliverables solely for the purposes intended under this contract."
UNFAVORABLE
Overly Restrictive Use Clause
"Neither party shall use, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of the other party’s intellectual property without prior written consent."
Alternative scenarios & positions
Joint Development Projects
Address IP ownership and licensing terms for joint development projects, ensuring joint ownership or cross-licensing terms are clear and potential disputes over jointly developed IP are addressed.
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, ensure that indemnification clauses are robust to cover potential IP infringement claims.
International Collaborations
Consider jurisdictional differences in IP law and ensure that the contract addresses these to avoid enforcement issues.
