You Don't Own Your Code. (Yet.)
Download the 2026 IP Assignment Deed (Pre-Incorporation).
Transfer "Past Work" to Your New Company. Investor-Grade. 2026 Asset Protection.
Here is a scary legal fact:
If you wrote code, designed a logo, or bought a domain name before you incorporated your company, the company does not own those assets.
You do.
This creates a massive problem called a "Cloud on Title."
Investors will not fund a company that doesn't own its own IP.
If a co-founder leaves, they can legally take the website domain or the original code with them, because they bought it personally before the company existed.
You cannot enforce trademarks if the "first use" was by an individual, not the entity.
You need to "Deed" the assets to the company.
The Legal Attorney IP Assignment Deed is the bridge that moves your past work into your future empire.
What You Get Inside the Kit:
1. The Master IP Deed (Word)
A robust legal instrument designed to irrevocably transfer ownership of all "Pre-Incorporation" work to the corporation.
Retroactive Effectiveness: It is drafted to be effective as of the date the IP was created, fixing any gaps in your timeline.
"Moral Rights" Waiver: Prevents a creator from later claiming they have the right to stop the company from modifying the code or design.
Further Assurances Clause: Legally forces the founder to sign any future patent documents required to perfect the title, even if they have left the company.
2. The Asset Schedule (Schedule A)
A structured template to list exactly what is being transferred.
Source Code: Fields to list GitHub repositories.
Digital Real Estate: Sections for Domain Names and Social Media Handles.
Business IP: Sections for Pitch Decks, Customer Lists, and Financial Models.
3. The 2026 Digital Asset Clause
Most old templates forget about SaaS. Our deed includes specific language transferring ownership of SaaS Accounts (AWS, Stripe, Slack) and Social Media Credentials. This prevents a disgruntled founder from holding the company Instagram account hostage.
4. The Execution Guide (PDF)
A step-by-step manual on how to sign the document (even if you are the sole founder) and how to physically transfer the domain registrations to match the legal paperwork.
Why Founders Need This Specific Document:
1. It is Different from the Employee Agreement
The "Employee CIIAA" covers what you build in the future. This Deed covers what you built in the past. You need both to have a complete "Chain of Title."
2. It Fixes "Founder Flight" Risk
We see it all the time: A co-founder quits and says, "I bought the domain name on my personal credit card before we incorporated, so I'm taking it with me." This Deed stops that. It proves the domain was transferred to the company in exchange for stock.
3. It satisfies Due Diligence
When you raise your Seed Round, the lawyers will look for this specific document. If it is missing, you will have to pay lawyers thousands of dollars to draft "Ratification" documents to fix the mess. Buy this template for $39 and fix it now.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. I am a Solo Founder. Do I really need this?
Yes. Even if it is just you, you need to separate "You the Human" from "You the Corporation." If you ever want to sell the company or take investment, the buyer needs to know the Corporation owns the assets, not you personally.
2. What if I already incorporated 6 months ago?
You can still sign this. It acts as a "Clean Up" document. Just sign it now and list all the assets you created before incorporation.
3. Does this cover Patents?
It covers the assignment of the invention rights. However, if you have actually filed a patent application with the USPTO, you will also need to file a specific "Recordation of Assignment" with the patent office. This Deed is the contract that supports that filing.
