New York Redefines the Permissible Scope of Invention Assignment Provisions
Invention assignment provisions are fundamental in employment agreements. On one hand, they are the mechanism by which an employer takes ownership of important types of intellectual property employees create that relates to the job—potentially patentable inventions, which may be trade secrets unless patent protection is sought. In that manner, they safeguard important employer interests, including preventing potential disputes over ownership of key company inventions and ensuring that employers can make necessary representations about ownership of their intellectual property in corporate transactions such as financings and acquisitions. On the other hand, such agreements also provide boundaries under which employees can safely create unrelated intellectual property, such as when planning a new, future start-up company.
