Employee Proprietary Rights Acknowledgment (EPR) is an agreement between an employer and an employee that outlines the rights of the employer in regard to any intellectual property created by the employee during the course of their employment. It is a legal document that acknowledges that any intellectual property created by the employee is owned by the employer and not the employee. It also outlines the specific rights of the employer in regard to the use of the intellectual property. There are two types of Employee Proprietary Rights Acknowledgment: 1. Traditional EPR: This type of EPR is more commonly used in traditional employment settings. It outlines the specific rights of the employer in regard to the use of any intellectual property created by the employee during the course of their employment. It also outlines the compensation the employee is entitled to for any intellectual property that is used by the employer. 2. Freelance EPR: This type of EPR is more commonly used in freelance or contract-based employment settings. It outlines the specific rights of the employer in regard to the use of any intellectual property created by the employee during the course of the contract. It also outlines the payment the employee is entitled to for any intellectual property that is used by the employer.
