⚠️ Important

This template is designed for permanent transfers of ownership of intellectual property rights. It is suitable for transactions involving founders, employees, contractors, consultants, acquisitions, investments, software development, creative works, and technology transfers.

This is not a licence agreement. Where the intention is to grant permission to use intellectual property while retaining ownership, an Intellectual Property Licence Agreement should be used instead.

As intellectual property laws vary across jurisdictions, this template should be reviewed and customised to reflect the applicable laws, commercial objectives, and transaction-specific requirements before execution.
