Confidential Information, Restrictive Covenant, and Invention Assignment Agreement for an Independent Contractor Form

Confidential Information, Restrictive Covenant, and Invention Assignment Agreement for an Independent Contractor Form

Secure Your IP. Safeguard Trade Secrets. Strengthen Your Agreements.

When engaging independent contractors, your business may be exposing sensitive strategies, proprietary technologies, or confidential client information, assets that are critical to your competitive advantage. Without proper legal protections in place, you risk losing control over your intellectual property or even facing third-party infringement claims.

Our Confidential Information, Restrictive Covenant, and Invention Assignment Agreement for Independent Contractors is a legal tool designed to supplement your existing Independent Contractor Agreement. It ensures that confidential information remains protected, innovations are properly assigned to your company, and contractors are bound by clear obligations to respect your proprietary interests.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure Protections. Legally binds contractors to protect all sensitive business information disclosed during the engagement, reducing risk of leaks, data misuse, or unauthorized sharing.

  • Invention Assignment Clause. Clearly assigns to your business any inventions, developments, or creative works made by the contractor during their engagement, ensuring full ownership from day one.

  • Restrictive Covenants. Optional provisions to limit solicitation, competition, or other actions that could harm your business, crafted to be enforceable while respecting the independent nature of the relationship.

  • Tailored for Independent Contractors. Designed to stand up to scrutiny while preserving contractor status, making it ideal for use alongside your primary Independent Contractor Agreement.

Why Our Form Stands Out:

While most contractor agreements provide general terms, this agreement zooms in on what matters most: intellectual property, confidentiality, and post-engagement restrictions. It’s particularly valuable for companies where ideas are assets. Without this agreement, your business may have limited or no legal claim to the work a contractor creates, even if you paid for it. Worse, proprietary insights could be reused or disclosed to your competitors. This form provides the legal foundation to prevent that.

Don’t Just Hire, Protect What Matters.

Whether you're working with a freelance developer, a creative consultant, or a technical contractor, make sure your business’s secrets and creations stay where they belong: with you.

Download our Confidential Information, Restrictive Covenant, and Invention Assignment Agreement today and take a vital step toward protecting your intellectual property and securing your business’s future.
