after "produced", insert "as part of the performance of the Service" or similar, assuming Service has been defined above as the contract deliverable.

How to word IP-ownership clause?

A draft contract has the following in it:

The Client will own all Intellectual Property and Inventions produced by the Consultant absolutely

Obviously the aim is clear, but is it implicitly clear within the context of a contractor-client contract that this means 'all work the consultant is paid for'? Client is aware MyCo has other ongoing work and I know them personally so it's for completeness rather than expecting to need my ass covered.
