What IP Contract Services Does Brodsky Law Offer?
Intellectual property is often among the most valuable assets a business or individual can own — and the contracts governing IP rights must be drafted with precision to avoid costly disputes down the road. IP contracts address how creative works, inventions, trade secrets, and proprietary technology are licensed, transferred, and protected. Whether you are licensing software, assigning patent rights, or negotiating a work-for-hire agreement under Copyright Act Section 101, the terms of your IP contract determine the scope of rights granted, the obligations of each party, and the remedies available if disputes arise. Sasha Brodsky has counseled clients on IP transactions in Santa Cruz and throughout California since 1998.
California law imposes specific requirements on IP agreements that distinguish them from ordinary commercial contracts. Work-for-hire provisions must satisfy the statutory definition under the Copyright Act, and California Labor Code Section 2870 limits an employer's ability to claim ownership of inventions created on an employee's own time. Technology transfer agreements require careful attention to representations and warranties regarding the scope of IP rights being conveyed, while trade secret protection agreements must comply with the California Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Sasha works to ensure that every IP contract is drafted to withstand scrutiny, protect his clients' interests, and clearly define the rights and obligations of all parties involved.
Sasha's scope of counsel includes but is not limited to:
Whether you need to draft an IP licensing agreement, negotiate an assignment of intellectual property rights, structure a work-for-hire arrangement, or protect trade secrets through properly drafted agreements, Sasha provides experienced counsel through every stage of the IP contracting process — from initial drafting and negotiation through execution and enforcement. He works to ensure that his clients' intellectual property is protected and that their contractual rights are clearly defined.
