Subcontracting Agreement
A Subcontracting Agreement defines obligations between a primary contractor and subcontractor for project execution. This playbook examines flow-down provisions, performance guarantees, and dispute management.
IP Ownership
Negotiation strategy
Ensure all IP created during the contract is assigned to the company. Include clauses for assignment of rights and waiver of moral rights to prevent future disputes.
Negotiate for fair compensation for IP assignment and ensure any pre-existing IP is clearly licensed, not assigned, to the company.
Essential elements
1
IP Assignment
Transfer of IP rights to company.
2
Moral Rights Waiver
Waiver of creator's moral rights.
3
Pre-existing IP License
License for contractor's existing IP.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if jurisdiction-specific IP laws require modifications.
EDIT
Reject if the clause does not assign IP to the company.
ADD
Add clauses if IP ownership terms are missing.
PRO TIP
Always consult with local counsel to ensure compliance with jurisdiction-specific IP laws.
