I have a clause in a new contract for consultancy that states:
"The Supplier hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely assigns to the Customer, with full title guarantee, and without restriction, all right, title and interest in and to all existing and future Intellectual Property Rights (including future copyright) subsisting in or relating to all Deliverables, whether created, developed or produced before, on or after the date of this Contract."
I was wondering if this could be interpreted to mean all IP held by company and not just for the work contained in the contract? If it was all IP could this statement fall under unconscionability and be ignored?
Regards,
