An independent contractor agreement is a contract between you and a third party who is hired to perform a specific service. The independent contract agreement is for service providers who are not employees, but may have specialized skills that you need for a particular project. Often times, in the patent context, independent contractors are used to help reduce or bring an invention to practice, manufacture a product, or market it to others. It is important that independent contractor agreements be properly structured so that they prevent an independent contractor from laying claim of ownership and license to an inventive concept. In addition, properly structured independent contractor agreements are important to ensure that the independent contractor knows what their rights are, if any, with regards to reusing some of the developed work product under the independent contractor agreement in other projects

In thePlus Package, you answer a few questions and create a draft Independent Contractor Agreement automatically yourself, and have it reviewed for 1 hour with a U.S. contract attorney.
