3.1.1. Demise of Premises. Landlord, for and in consideration of the rents hereinafter reserved and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter contained on the part of Tenant to be paid, kept and performed, hereby leases and demises unto Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the premises located at [Full Property Address], legally described as [Legal Description of Property or reference to a more detailed exhibit], comprising approximately [Approximate Square Footage] rentable square feet (the "Demised Premises"), together with the non-exclusive right to use, in common with others, the common areas and facilities of the Property, including but not limited to, parking areas, access roads, sidewalks, and landscaped areas, subject to Landlord's reasonable rules and regulations.

3.1.2. Permitted Use. Tenant shall use the Demised Premises solely for [Specific Permitted Use, e.g., general office space, retail sales of consumer goods, light manufacturing and warehousing] and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord all rent and other sums due and owing up to the effective date of termination.

3.4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP & WORK MADE FOR HIRE

3.4.1. Existing Intellectual Property. Each party shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to its respective intellectual property (including, but not limited to, patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and proprietary information) that existed prior to the Effective Date or was developed independently of this Lease Agreement. This Lease Agreement does not grant any express or implied license or right to use the other party's intellectual property, except as strictly necessary for the performance of obligations or enjoyment of rights expressly granted under this Lease Agreement.

3.4.2. Tenant's Intellectual Property. Any intellectual property, including but not limited to, trade fixtures, signage, branding, logos, software, or data developed, created, or brought onto the Demised Premises by Tenant in connection with its permitted use of the Demised Premises shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of Tenant. Landlord shall acquire no right, title, or interest in any such intellectual property by virtue of this Lease Agreement.

Nothing in this Lease Agreement shall be construed to grant Tenant any ownership rights in Landlord IP.

3.4.4. Work Made for Hire (Not Applicable to Lease). The concept of "work made for hire" as typically defined under copyright law, where an employer or commissioning party owns works created by an employee or contractor, is generally not applicable to a standard property lease agreement. No provisions of this Lease Agreement shall be construed to create a "work made for hire" relationship between Landlord and Tenant, nor shall either party be deemed an employee or agent of the other for purposes of intellectual property creation.

Notify the Disclosing Party promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information.

The Receiving Party shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party's efforts to obtain a protective order or other remedy. If disclosure is compelled, the Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required.
