> just getting all intellectual property without any extra compensation is legal Generally it's not legal. Under Canadian contract law at least you need to offer some compensation for a specific clause in the contract that involves transfer. That's also why you see stories like "she purchased the IP off Nortel for $1". Makes it harder to call foul later. Not a lawyer, but this is how it's been explained to me.
