Employment Contract

"Employees and employers must stick to a contract until it ends (eg by an employer or employee giving notice or an employee being dismissed) or until the terms are changed (usually by agreement between the employee and employer)."https://www.gov.uk/employment-contracts-and-conditions/overview

This contract basic gives the employees terms and conditions within the company, if terms are not met they can fire the person for not doing there job correctly, these terms include and are not limited by:

• employment conditions

Development Agreement

"A development agreement is a contract between a local jurisdiction and a person who owns or controls property within the jurisdiction. The purpose of the agreement is to specify the standards and conditions that will govern development of the property."http://mrsc.org/Home/Explore-Topics/Planning/Land-Use-Administration/Development-Agreements.aspx

"A development agreement for use where a landowner already owns the land to be developed and engages a developer to carry out the development on its behalf. The standard document assumes that the landowner intends to sell the property on completion of the development and the developer will receive a fee based partly upon the development value." http://uk.practicallaw.com/7-101-7478

A development agreement basically says that the person who owns the land get a set revenue from the people who rent the land of them, after the land owner gets to sell the land after work has been completed.

License Agreement

"A licensing agreement is a legal contract between two parties, known as the licensor and the licensee. In a typical licensing agreement, the licensor grants the licensee the right to produce and sell goods, apply a brand name or trademark, or use patented technology owned by the licensor."
www.inc.com/encyclopedia/licensing-agreements.html

The license agreement say that who ever owns the product can sell it to who ever they please,this can grant them he right to do what they want with the product. If someone who does not have the licence agreement uses the idea for there own design, a copyright claim can be taken up on them.

NDA

Non-disclosure agreement - "A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) – otherwise known as a ‘confidentiality agreement’ or ‘confidential disclosure agreement’ – is a contract relating to mutual or one-way disclosure of confidential information between two parties. They can be relevant to any business that has concerns about unauthorized disclosure of its valuable or sensitive information - say, intellectual property - or simply wants to restrict the extent of how (or purpose for which) it can be used." http://www.startupdonut.co.uk/startup/business-law/intellectual-property/q-a-non-disclosure-agreements                                                 
An NDA is a contract where two parties disclose information about the product which hasn't gone public, the contract states any information disclosed will result in a permanent ban from the company and put on your record.

"The best way to keep something confidential is not to disclose it in the first place. If you do need to share information you should use a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). This could happen when you speak to potential partners like:

investors
manufacturers
stockists

You may have to tell people about your idea or your business to get advice. This could be from:

accountants
banks
financial advisors
insurance brokers
business coaches
or a marketing agency" https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/non-disclosure-agreements/non-disclosure-agreements

Collaboration Agreement

"The common theme to these agreements is two or more organisations working together to advance one or more of their existing technologies, or to combine their technologies to produce something new.  These agreements range from simple documents to very complex arrangements."

http://www.taylorwessing.com/synapse/commercial_rdcagreements.html

This is for two companies who want to work together to create something better than what just the one company could do on it's own. It says that both companies can own an equal share of the product produce to make a good outcome.
