TimePlate — SlashHub Limited
Last updated: 2026-10-12 · Version 1.0.0
[placeholder]before issue. Use. To ensure that all code, designs, content and inventions created by founders, employees or contractors legally belong to SlashHub Limited. Use it (a) as a stand-alone assignment for founders' past work at incorporation, and (b) alongside employment/contractor agreements. In Hong Kong, an employer already owns certain IP created by an employee in the course of employment, but an express assignment removes doubt and covers contractors, pre-incorporation work and moral rights.
This Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement (the "Agreement") is between SlashHub Limited
("SlashHub") and [Assignor full name] of [address] ("Assignor"), in the capacity of
[founder / employee / director / contractor / adviser].
2.1 The Assignor has created, or may create, intellectual property relating to SlashHub's business, including the TimePlate workforce-management platform and related software, designs, content and inventions (the "Business").
2.2 The parties wish to ensure that all such intellectual property vests in SlashHub, and the Assignor wishes to assign it on the terms below.
3.1 The Assignor assigns to SlashHub absolutely all right, title and interest (present and future, legal and beneficial, worldwide) in and to the Assigned IP, effective on the date of this Agreement (and, for future works, on their creation). The Assignor warrants that it is the sole and absolute owner of the Assigned IP, that it has the right to assign it, and that the Assigned IP is free of encumbrances ("full title guarantee" is not a term of Hong Kong law and is not used).
3.2 "Assigned IP" means all intellectual property rights created, conceived, developed or reduced to practice by the Assignor, alone or with others, in the course of, or relating to, the Business, including:
(a) software and code — source code, object code, scripts, algorithms, models and weights, datasets, schemas and configurations; (b) designs and content — UI/UX designs, wireframes, graphics, icons, branding, logos, copy, documentation, marketing and audio-visual materials; (c) inventions — inventions, discoveries, methods, processes, know-how and trade secrets; (d) business information — customer and partner lists, pricing, roadmaps and strategies; and (e) all intellectual property rights in the above, including copyright, patents, trade marks, registered designs, database rights, trade secrets and rights of confidence, and all applications, renewals, extensions and reversions.
3.3 The assignment includes the right to sue for and recover damages and other remedies for past, present and future infringements.
To the fullest extent permitted by law (including the Copyright Ordinance (Cap. 528) s.98), the Assignor waives all moral rights (including the rights of paternity and integrity) in the Assigned IP, and consents to SlashHub and its licensees using, modifying and dealing with the Assigned IP without attribution. This waiver is given in writing and signed by the Assignor, as required by Cap. 528 s.98, of which this signed instrument is evidence. Where a waiver is not effective, the Assignor agrees not to assert such rights.
The assignment is given for [consideration of HK$1.00 and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged] [and/or: as part of, and in consideration of, the Assignor's employment / engagement / shareholding with SlashHub].
6.1 The Assignor shall, at SlashHub's cost, promptly execute all documents and do all things reasonably required to give effect to this Agreement, including to register, perfect or enforce the Assigned IP.
6.2 The Assignor irrevocably appoints SlashHub as its attorney to execute such documents on its
behalf if the Assignor fails to do so within [10] business days of a written request.
7.1 The Assignor's pre-existing intellectual property listed in Schedule A (if any) is excluded from the assignment.
7.2 To the extent any pre-existing IP of the Assignor is incorporated into the Assigned IP or the Business, the Assignor grants SlashHub a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, exclusive, transferable, sublicensable licence to use, modify and commercialise it, and shall disclose it.
7.3 The Assignor shall not incorporate third-party or open-source materials into the Business without SlashHub's prior written consent, and shall disclose any such materials and their licences.
The Assignor warrants that: (a) it is the sole owner of the Assigned IP and has the right and authority to assign it; (b) the Assigned IP is original and does not infringe any third-party right; (c) the Assigned IP has not been assigned, licensed or encumbered in a way that conflicts with this Agreement; (d) no third party has any claim to the Assigned IP; and (e) Schedule A is a complete and accurate list of any excluded pre-existing IP. The Assignor shall indemnify SlashHub against claims arising from a breach of these warranties.
9.1 The parties acknowledge that, under Hong Kong law, copyright and certain other rights in works made by an employee in the course of employment, or inventions made in the course of duties, may already vest in the employer — see the Copyright Ordinance (Cap. 528) s.14(2), the Patents Ordinance (Cap. 514) s.57 and the Registered Designs Ordinance (Cap. 522). This Agreement is cumulative and confirms, extends and (where necessary) assigns such rights to SlashHub, and applies to works created before this Agreement (including pre-incorporation work).
9.2 This Agreement does not reduce any rights SlashHub has by law or under any other agreement.
The Assignor shall keep adequate records of the Assigned IP and shall cooperate in confirming dates of creation, inventorship and authorship as reasonably required.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Hong Kong SAR, and disputes are resolved by the courts of
Hong Kong [Alternative: HKIAC arbitration, seat Hong Kong, one arbitrator]. Either party may seek
injunctive relief to protect its IP.
This Agreement is the entire agreement on its subject. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains. No third-party rights are created (Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Cap. 623) excluded). It may be signed in counterparts and electronically.
