Technology Assignment Agreement Template for Startups
This Technology Assignment Agreement is designed to transfer all pre-incorporation intellectual property from a founder to the startup at or near the time of formation. It ensures the company—not the individual founders—owns the technology, code, designs, and know-how underlying the business. In exchange, the founder typically receives equity, and agrees to cooperate with future filings, recordations, and enforcement. Properly executed, this agreement creates clean IP ownership that investors and acquirers expect from day one.
