Terms of Service

Draft needed

Counsel to draft. Standard acceptance clause covering:

Draft needed · IP-sensitive

Counsel to draft with extra care. This section will assert IP ownership claims that must be consistent with the broader IP posture, including the pending Microsoft IP assignment question:

Counsel should ensure assertions here do not exceed the company's actual rights position pending resolution of upstream IP questions.
