Good to know
- Under Canada's Copyright Act, the employer usually owns copyright in work made in the course of the job. Patentable inventions need a written assignment, which this agreement gives.
- Moral rights can't be transferred, only waived. This agreement includes a waiver.
- Ontario's ESA (s. 67.2) bans non-compete clauses except for executives and sale of a business. Use non-solicitation instead.
