Practitioners based in Québec and elsewhere in Canada regularly incorporate standard clauses borrowed from common law into the IP contracts they draft, such as confidentiality agreements, service contracts, licenses, IP rights transfer agreements, co-development agreements, etc. This raises a number of questions, including the following:

- What are best practices?
