Transferring pre-formation works from Avery Jones (individual) to Current Scoring Leaders LLC. Internal record — not a client-facing document.
This Founder Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of the Effective Date set forth below by and between:
Assignor: Avery Jones, an individual residing in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States, also known professionally as FreshWater (the "Founder"); and
Assignee: Current Scoring Leaders LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (PA Entity ID 0015312684; EIN 42-2097949), with a principal place of business at 1550 Edgewood Ave, Willow Grove, PA 19001 (the "Company").
WHEREAS, the Founder organized the Company on March 30, 2026 to operate a custom music composition, scoring, and licensing business;
WHEREAS, prior to the formation of the Company, the Founder created, authored, and acquired certain musical compositions, sound recordings, lyrics, performances, brand assets, and related intellectual property in connection with what would become the Company's business, including without limitation works produced under a paid Premier-tier subscription to the Suno generative-music platform commencing on or around April 2025;
WHEREAS, the Founder desires to assign all such pre-formation intellectual property to the Company so that the Company holds clean, exclusive, and unencumbered title in the assigned works for all commercial purposes; and
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the issuance of the Founder's membership interest in the Company, the mutual covenants set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows.
"Assigned Works" means, collectively, all of the following created, authored, performed, recorded, fixed, mixed, mastered, or otherwise originated by the Founder prior to the Effective Date and intended for use in or by the Company's business:
"Intellectual Property Rights" means all rights of every kind anywhere in the world, including without limitation copyright (and all renewals and extensions thereof), neighboring rights, master-recording rights, performance rights, mechanical rights, synchronization rights, moral rights to the maximum extent waivable, trademark rights, trade-dress rights, trade-secret rights, publicity rights, and any other proprietary rights.
The Founder hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers, and conveys to the Company, its successors, and assigns, all of the Founder's right, title, and interest in and to the Assigned Works and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, throughout the universe, in all media now known or hereafter devised, for the full duration of such rights (including all renewal and extension terms).
This assignment is intended to convey the maximum interest permitted by law and is effective as of the date each Assigned Work was first fixed in tangible form, with retroactive effect. The Founder represents that prior to the Effective Date the Founder held all such rights individually, and confirms the transfer to the Company is full, exclusive, and free of liens or third-party claims except as expressly disclosed in Schedule A.
To the extent any Assigned Work qualifies as a "work made for hire" under 17 U.S.C. § 101, it shall be deemed a work made for hire owned by the Company. To the extent any Assigned Work does not so qualify, the foregoing assignment in Section 4 governs and is effective as a present assignment.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Founder irrevocably waives any moral rights, droit moral, rights of attribution and integrity, and similar rights in the Assigned Works in favor of the Company.
The Founder agrees to execute any further documents, including specific copyright, trademark, or master-recording assignments, and to take any further actions reasonably requested by the Company to perfect, record, or enforce the assignment, at the Company's expense. The Founder grants the Company a power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to execute such documents on the Founder's behalf if the Founder is unavailable.
The parties agree that the Founder's receipt of a membership interest in the Company at formation, together with the Founder's ongoing distributions and rights as Managing Member, constitutes complete and adequate consideration for this assignment. No further royalty, advance, or payment is owed by the Company to the Founder for the Assigned Works.
The Company shall register Assigned Works with the U.S. Copyright Office in compliance with the Office's Generative AI Registration Guidance (the "GRUW process") where applicable, identifying the AI-assisted material and the human-authored elements. The Founder shall reasonably cooperate, including by signing applications and providing authorship statements.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflicts of law principles. Any dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the assignment of pre-formation intellectual property and supersedes any prior understanding. It may be amended only by a writing signed by both parties.
None, except as listed below:
