IP licence grants

When the client gets a licence to use your work instead of full ownership.

Licence scope

Exclusive vs non-exclusive, territory, duration, and permitted uses should be spelled out. A perpetual worldwide licence is close to an assignment in practice.

Background IP

Your pre-existing tools should stay yours with a licence to the client only for what is embedded in the deliverable.
