How do I draft a U.S. IP assignment and confidentiality agreement for Roblox contractors paid in Robux?

Lexi, Chatbot

I understand that creating a contract for IP assignment and confidentiality is important. What type of intellectual property are you looking to assign?

Lexi, Chatbot

Are there any particular terms or conditions you want included?

I’ll be happy to help you today. Please note this discussion is for general guidance only and does not create an attorney-client relationship. You should retain local counsel before relying on any contract.

Do you have any additional information that would assist in reviewing your situation?

You should use a combined Independent Contractor, IP Assignment, and Confidentiality Agreement drafted in favor of your LLC. Below is a clean US-based template structure you can customize. You should still have a business attorney review it before using it.

[Your LLC Name], LLC, a [State] limited liability company (“Company”), and

Important Legal Notes for You

1. Make sure your LLC name is exactly correct as filed with your state.

2. Always include “work made for hire” language plus a backup assignment clause.

3. If you ever work with minors (common on Roblox), additional parental consent language is required.

4. If contractors are outside the US, jurisdiction and enforcement become more complex.

5. Keep written proof of Robux payment agreements.
