How Should Sample Development Ownership Be Written Into a Contract?

Sample contracts should distinguish preexisting assets, new outputs, ownership, and transfer rights.

Ownership, confidentiality, permission to use, and exclusivity are separate issues. Document preexisting assets and newly developed outputs, including patterns, artwork, technical data, and tooling; payment for development alone may not resolve every right or the conditions for transferring files to another production provider later. List the deliverables the buyer receives.
