: I have been asked to sign an employment agreement in a "work-made-for-hire" situation and there is a section I have questions about. : It is asking me to waive all rights of "Droit Moral" regarding intellectual property created by me during employment, such as reports, essays, visual design, forms, etc. I realize it would be impossible to not sign this agreement and remained employed by this organization, but I would like to reserve the right to future use, whether now known or hereafter devised, of all works created by me during the "work-made-for-hire" period without any obligation to the LLC or with restriction to me. : The LLC will retain all rights to use of property but is asking for exclusive property ownership and sole authorship. Do I have rights in this case for future use without restriction and obligations to me while releasing my work to the LLC for their use also? : Thanks so much. Dear Pics, I don't fully understand what you are saying. If you assign it is theirs. Later you can use the same subject matter but can't copy the old mode of expression (work). M.
