Intellectual Property Protection in IT & Software Contracts

Protect your code, algorithms, designs, and digital innovations with enforceable IP contracts.

In the technology-driven world, intellectual property (IP) is often your company’s most valuable asset. Whether you are a software developer, SaaS provider, AI startup, or digital content creator, protecting your innovations is essential to business success. At Kontract Genie, we specialise in IP protection in IT contracts, providing legal frameworks that safeguard your rights, clarify ownership, and prevent unauthorised use or duplication of your work.

We help Indian IT and software businesses protect proprietary assets — from source code to databases and algorithms — with robust, enforceable legal contracts tailored to modern digital ecosystems.

Key Legal Services for IP Protection in Software & Tech Contracts

  1. Software IP Ownership Clauses
    Draft contracts that clearly define ownership of code, documentation, and deliverables — especially in outsourced or joint development projects.
  2. Algorithm & AI Ownership Agreements
    Protect proprietary algorithms, training data, AI models, and logic through strong IP clauses in licensing and development contracts.
  3. Trademark Licensing Agreements (India)
    Secure brand identity by defining how your registered trademarks can be used by partners, affiliates, or licensees — with full legal enforceability.
  4. Patent Licensing for IT Solutions
    Legal agreements that govern how your patented innovations can be commercialised, sublicensed, or transferred.
  5. Database and Digital Content Protection
    Ensure structured digital assets like databases, datasets, and APIs are protected under copyright and contract-based controls.
  6. Collaborative Development IP Agreements
    Clarify IP rights in co-creation environments (e.g., with vendors, clients, or dev teams) to avoid future disputes.
  7. Open Source & Third-Party Code Integration
    We help you legally manage and declare third-party or open-source components without IP infringement risks.
  8. IP Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure Clauses
    Include ironclad confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions to prevent leaks of proprietary information.
  9. Unauthorised Use Prevention Clauses
    Embed restrictive clauses that prohibit reverse engineering, re-selling, sublicensing, or unauthorised modifications.
