## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Intellectual Property — Patents, Trade Marks, Copyright, Designs](https://ailawframework.com/practice/intellectual-property-patents-trade-marks-copyright-designs.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | From the services sheet, list each deliverable, who is to supply it, and whether the file contains a writing signed by the owner of the rights, with the page. Write no clause of the services agreement. |
| What the lawyer must review | You write the services clauses. Start from the deliverable the client is to supply. Section 201(b) treats the employer, or the other person for whom a work made for hire was prepared, as the author unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise in a written instrument signed by them. Section 204(a) requires the signed writing for a transfer of copyright ownership other than by operation of law. Section 106, subject to §§ 107 through 122, is the list of exclusive rights against which you measure a grant. Open § 101 before you call the deliverable a work made for hire or the grant a nonexclusive permission. This list does not write the clause. |

## Checking plan

## Notes

- This is the services agreement. It is not the data-licence question list.
- Open § 102 before you treat a deliverable as a work of authorship.
