Download the 2026 Confidential Information & Invention Assignment Agreement (CIIAA).
Secure Your IP. Protect Trade Secrets. AI-Ready.
Who owns your code?
You might think you do. Or you might think the company does.
But unless you have a signed CIIAA, the default legal answer is messy. If you (or your co-founder) write code, design a logo, or write a business plan without this contract, that individual owns the copyright—not the corporation.
This is a "Deal Killer."
When you try to raise funding, investors will audit your IP chain of title. If they see founders or employees working without a CIIAA, they will walk away. They are not investing in you; they are investing in the company's assets.
Secure your foundation with the Legal Attorney 2026 CIIAA.
What You Get Inside the Kit:
1. The Master CIIAA Agreement (Word)
A comprehensive, legal contract updated for the 2026 tech landscape. It transfers all Intellectual Property rights from the individual to the Company efficiently and irrevocably.
2. The "Generative AI" Protection Clause
Old templates don't cover AI. Ours does.
It defines AI prompts and outputs as Company Property.
It explicitly bans employees from uploading your trade secrets into public AI tools (like ChatGPT), protecting you from data leaks.
3. The Social Media & Digital Asset Clause
Who owns the company's LinkedIn page or Twitter handle?
If an employee registers it with their personal email, they could take it when they leave.
Our agreement legally classifies these accounts as Company Property, forcing them to hand over passwords upon termination.
4. The "Prior Inventions" Exhibit (Word)
A critical form where new hires list what they already own. This prevents them from claiming ownership of your product later by saying, "I invented that before I joined."
5. The Termination Certification (Word)
A "Clean Break" document. When an employee quits, they sign this to certify under penalty of perjury that they have deleted all company files from their personal devices.
Why Founders Need This Specific Template:
1. It Prevents the "Winklevoss" Problem
Remember Facebook? If you don't have clear IP assignment, early contributors can sue you later claiming they own the idea. This document shuts that door.
2. It is Built for Remote Work
We included specific "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) security clauses. It mandates disk encryption and password protection for any personal laptop used for company work—essential for modern remote teams.
3. It satisfies "Works Made for Hire"
Copyright law is tricky. This agreement includes the specific federal language required to ensure that designs, content, and code are legally "Works Made for Hire" owned by the corporation.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the Founder need to sign this?
Yes. Absolutely. The Founder is an employee. You must transfer your IP to the company just like everyone else. Investors will check for your signature specifically.
2. Can I use this for Contractors?
Yes, but you should change the title to "Consulting Agreement." The core IP assignment language works for both, but this specific template is optimized for W-2 employees and Founders.
3. What about California employees?
We have you covered. The kit includes Exhibit B, which is the mandatory notification required by California Labor Code Section 2870. Without this page, your IP assignment might be void in California.
