Short Form Assignment Agreement

"I need a Short Form Assignment Agreement under Swiss law for transferring software intellectual property rights from my tech consultancy to a multinational client company, with the transfer to be completed by March 2025."

Document background
The Short Form Assignment Agreement is designed for use under Swiss law when parties need to execute a straightforward transfer of rights or assets. This document is particularly valuable when a comprehensive assignment agreement would be unnecessarily complex, such as in situations involving clear-cut transfers of intellectual property rights, contractual rights, or other assignable interests. The agreement complies with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, while maintaining brevity and clarity. It's commonly used in corporate restructuring, intellectual property transfers, or when independent contractors need to assign their work products. The document includes essential provisions for the transfer, basic warranties, and governing law clauses, while avoiding the complexity of a full-form assignment agreement.
Suggested Sections

1. Parties: Identification of the Assignor and Assignee with full legal names and addresses

2. Background: Brief context explaining the purpose of the assignment and the rights being assigned

3. Definitions: Key terms used in the agreement, kept minimal for a short-form agreement

4. Assignment: Core provision detailing the rights being assigned and confirmation of transfer

5. Consideration: Details of payment or other consideration for the assignment

6. Assignor's Warranties: Basic warranties regarding ownership, right to assign, and no encumbrances

7. Further Assurance: Obligation to execute additional documents if needed to perfect the assignment

8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction: Specification of Swiss law and jurisdiction

Optional Sections

1. Tax Provisions: Include when the assignment has specific tax implications requiring address

2. Confidentiality: Include when confidential information is involved in the assignment

3. Third Party Rights: Include when the assigned rights involve or affect third parties

4. Employee Acknowledgments: Include when the assignment involves rights created by employees

5. Registration: Include when the assigned rights require registration with authorities

Suggested Schedules

1. Schedule 1 - Description of Assigned Rights: Detailed description of the intellectual property or other rights being assigned

2. Schedule 2 - Existing Licenses or Encumbrances: List of any existing licenses, permissions or encumbrances affecting the assigned rights

3. Appendix A - Form of Assignment Notice: Template for any required formal notices of assignment
