IP et confidentialité clauses in a shareholders' agreement

Your intellectual property is often your main asset. This category covers the clauses that secure IP within the shareholders' agreement: exclusive assignment of IP created by founders and employees to the company, reinforced confidentiality undertaking, post-departure non-compete clause. Without a clean IP assignment from day one, you can discover during a due diligence that your product legally belongs to a cofounder who left two years ago. Without a clear non-compete, a departing cofounder can launch a direct competitor with your code. Atlas shows you the standard wordings for France and Quebec, and the pitfalls to avoid (clauses too broad that won't hold up in court).
