Introducing the Innovator’s Patent Agreement

“The IPA is a new way to do patent assignment that keeps control in the hands of engineers and designers. It is a commitment to our employees that patents can only be used for defensive purposes. We will not use the patents from employees’ inventions in offensive litigation without their permission. What’s more, this control flows with the patents, so if we sold them to others, they could only use them as the inventor intended.” - Twitter Engineering - 17 April 2012 http://mykl.us/J44P0I
