If the assignee intends to assume both the benefit and the burden of a contract, it is not sufficient, as a general rule, to avail himself of a transfer basis, the burden of the contract remaining to the assignee. In these cases, innovation would be a preferable method of transferring bonds, which would transfer both profit and burden to the new party and leave no residual liability to the cededant. Note that in some agreements where there is a transfer ban, it is sometimes possible to find the reserve of certain rights in order to establish a position of trust or to ensure security on the purpose of the agreement. Another difference is that the assignments must be written down and a license can be executed without being written. One thinks, for example, of intellectual property, such as patents. In some cases, patents may be licensed orally, but patent contracts must be written and filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Assignment and innovation are commonplace in the construction industry and careful consideration should be given to the appropriate mechanism. Disposals are often used as part of guarantees, with the benefit of a contract being transferred to a third party. Similarly, the transfer of rights in the event of a conflict of interest on a project may be appropriate if the employer still has to fulfil certain contractual obligations, for example. B if work is still ongoing. Innovation is needed if the original contractor wants contractual obligations to be liabilities due to a third party.
This is often seen in a design and construction scenario in which the employer entrusts the consulting contracts to the contractor, so that the benefit and burden of appointments are transferred and the employer benefits from a single liability body in the form of the contractor. The assignee continues to bear the burden and may be held liable by the assignee for the non-compliance with his contractual obligations. The purchase of a compensation clause by the assignee can help protect the assignee from future liability.
