📜 Legal Term of the Day: Intellectual Property

Term: Intellectual Property (IP)

Pillar: Intellectual Property

💥 Definition: Intellectual property is anything you create in your business that gives you a competitive edge and can be legally protected. For AI founders, that could be your code, your trained model, your dataset, your brand name, or even your secret sauce workflow in n8n. Think of IP as the invisible assets that make your company valuable—even more than the hardware you run it on.

👉 Intellectual Property Ownership Clause in a Contractor Agreement:

“Contractor agrees that all work product, code, models, datasets, documentation, or other materials created in the course of providing services shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. Contractor hereby assigns to Company all rights, title, and interest in such work product.”

❓ What part of your business do you think would be the most valuable IP if an investor asked you today?
