The Prior Inventions Employment Agreement is essential when hiring employees who have developed intellectual property prior to their employment, particularly in technical or creative roles. This document, structured under Pakistani law and compliant with the Patents Ordinance 2000 and related legislation, serves to clearly document and protect an employee's pre-existing intellectual property while establishing parameters for its use during employment. It is typically used during the onboarding process for technical, creative, or research positions where the employee brings significant intellectual property to their role. The agreement includes comprehensive listings of prior inventions, their documentation, and any existing third-party rights or obligations, while establishing clear boundaries between pre-existing intellectual property and new developments that will occur during employment.
