Assignment of Intellectual Property. At all times during the term of Executive’s employment with McDonald’s and continuing at all times after the termination of Executive’s employment with McDonald’s for any reason, whether with or without cause, at the option of McDonald’s or Executive, with or without notice, Executive agrees and covenants that Executive shall make prompt full written disclosure to McDonald’s and hold in trust for the sole right, benefit, and use of McDonald’s: any ideas, inventions, innovations, discoveries, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, recipes, reports and all similar or related information, whether or not patentable, and any works of authorship, whether or not copyrightable, (collectively “Inventions”), that originate with Executive in whole or in part during the period of Executive’s employment. Executive agrees and acknowledges that any and all Inventions shall remain the exclusive property of McDonald’s. Executive hereby expressly and fully assigns to McDonald’s exclusive right, title and interest to all Inventions that originate with Executive in whole or in part during the period of Executive’s employment, whether written or not, and whether or not patentable or eligible for protection under copyright law, and fully waive any claims or rights Executive may have therein. Executive agrees to assist McDonald’s, at McDonald’s expense, in perfecting such transfer or assignment by taking all necessary actions and executing all documents as may be required. Executive understands that the foregoing shall not apply to Inventions # developed on Executive’s own time, # without the use of Confidential Information, proprietary information and/or trade secrets or without McDonald’s supplies, equipment, facilities, or property, and # that are not based on any work performed for McDonald’s or related in any way to McDonald’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development. Any assignment to McDonald’s of Inventions includes all rights of attribution, paternity, integrity, modification, disclosure and withdrawal, and any other rights throughout the world that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights," “artist’s rights," “droit moral," or the like (collectively, “Moral Rights”). To the extent that Moral Rights cannot be assigned under applicable law, Executive hereby waives and agrees not to enforce any and all Moral Rights, including, without limitation, any right to identification of authorship or limitation on subsequent modification that Executive may have in the assigned Inventions. Executive further acknowledges that all original works of authorship that are made by him/her (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of employment with McDonald’s and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire”, as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 USC §101) or under any similar concept other applicable copyright law (to the extent U.S. copyright law does not apply). The Executive’s obligations under this Section shall continue after Executive’s employment with McDonald’s is terminated, regardless of the nature or reason for such termination. The provisions of this Section shall be binding upon the Executive and the Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators.

You hereby agree and covenant that you have made and, that at all times after your termination date shall make, prompt full written disclosure to McDonald’s and hold in trust for the sole right, benefit, and use of McDonald’s: any confidential information, ideas, inventions, innovations, discoveries, improvements, developments, methods, designs, trade marks, trade names, service marks, logos, trade dress, analyses, drawings, recipes, reports and all similar or related information, whether or not patentable, and any works of authorship, whether or not copyrightable, (collectively “Inventions”), that originated with you in whole or in part during the period of your employment with McDonald’s.

You hereby expressly and fully assign to McDonald’s exclusive right, title and interest to all Inventions that originated with you in whole or in part during the period of your employment, whether written or not, and whether or not patentable or eligible for protection under copyright law, and fully waive any claims or rights you may have therein. You agree to assist McDonald’s, at McDonald’s expense, in perfecting such transfer or assignment by taking all necessary actions and executing all documents as may be required. You understand that the foregoing shall not apply to Inventions # developed on your own time, # without the use of Confidential Information, proprietary information and/or trade secrets belonging to McDonald’s or without McDonald’s supplies, equipment, facilities, or property, and # that are not based on any work performed for McDonald’s or related in any way to McDonald’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development.
