Sample IP Agreements

Here we maintain a collection of sample agreements relating to intellectual property transactions. Each agreement is annotated to explain the impact of specific provisions contained in the sample agreements. Please note that these agreements are exemplary; a sample agreement included here may not be ideal for every situation. Use them at your own risk.*

You can use the sample agreements in several ways:

  • Go to the IP Agreement Summaries page  (Login Required) to see a brief summary of each sample agreement, and to access the sample agreements (Word format). This page is useful if you are looking for examples of specific agreements (e.g., "I am trying to craft a material transfer agreement, and I want to see an example.")
  • Go to the Index of Provisions page (Login Required) to see a searchable index of agreement provisions. This page is useful if you are looking for examples of specific agreement provisions (e.g., "I am trying to craft an indemnity provision, and I want to see examples from various agreements.")

* Nothing included in the sample agreements or elsewhere on this site should be considered legal advice on the part of AIPLA or any of its members.

  • AIPLA CLE Webinar: UPC - Long Arm Jurisdiction and Gathering Evidence

    June 24, 2025 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM   |   Up to 90 Mins CLE Eligible

    Does the UPC benefit from the so-called ‘long-arm’ jurisdiction, and can it impose remedies relating to acts of infringement of the national parts of European patents in countries that are not in the European Union? Learn about the potential impact the recent decision from the Court of Justice of the European Union may have on Europe and the US. Further, procedural issues before the UPC will be discussed. The UPC doesn’t have a US-style discovery procedure. Gathering evidence for a UPC case is a different process. This webinar will explore the UPC approach. Learn the differences of this UPC approach and national practices, in particular the French, German and US systems.
