Spark Portland: Protect your IP with basic terms of agreement by The Freelancers Union

Welcome to Freelancers Union SPARK! We’re not your average “here’s my business card, we should talk” networking group. We seek to inspire, so we work together to ensure everyone leaves with insights and connections that will help their business thrive.

Join us on the first Wednesday of every month to meet other entrepreneurs in the area, get inspired, and learn stuff like how to turn pro at filing quarterly taxes!

SEPTEMBER’S DISCUSSION TOPIC: Protect your IP with basic terms of agreement

This month, we’ll swap invaluable insight around questions like “How do I address ownership in my contract?” “Can my client request my native files?” and “What’s the benefit of a limited use agreement?”

Whether you use a contract with every client or stick to a virtual handshake (aka email), all freelancers need a basic understanding of terms of agreement. Protect their IP and ensure you get the credit you deserve for your fantastic work!

SPARK is built on the premise that we’re stronger together than we are on our own. Check out the national conversation at #FreelanceSPARK or send a friend to one of our events across the country!
