 Exhibit 10.14 

INTRA-CELLULAR THERAPIES, INC. 

EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, 

INVENTIONS, AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT 

In consideration of my employment or continued employment by INTRA-CELLULAR THERAPIES,
INC. (the “Company”), and the compensation now and hereafter paid to me, I hereby agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	NONDISCLOSURE. 


1.1    Recognition of Company’s Rights; Nondisclosure. At all times during my employment
and thereafter, I will hold in strictest confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any of the Company’s Proprietary Information (defined below), except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection
with my work for the Company, or unless an officer of the Company expressly authorizes such in writing. I will obtain Company’s written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, verbal, or otherwise) that
relates to my work at Company and/or incorporates any Proprietary Information. I hereby assign to the Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information and recognize that all Proprietary Information shall be the sole property
of the Company and its assigns. I have been informed and acknowledge that the unauthorized taking of the Company’s trade secrets may subject me to civil and/or criminal penalties. 

1.2    Proprietary Information. The term “Proprietary Information” shall
mean any and all confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information of the Company. By way of illustration but not limitation, “Proprietary Information” includes (a) tangible and intangible information relating to
antibodies and other biological materials, cell lines, samples of assay components, media and/or cell lines and procedures and formulations for producing any such assay components, media and/or cell lines, formulations, products, processes, know-how, designs, formulas, methods, developmental or experimental work, clinical data, improvements, discoveries, plans for research, new products (“Inventions”); (b) marketing and selling,
business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers; and (c) information regarding the skills and compensation of other employees of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
understood that, at all such times, I am free to use information which is generally known in the trade or industry, which is not gained as result of a breach of this Agreement, and my own, skill, knowledge,
know-how and experience to whatever extent and in whichever way I wish. 

1.3    Third Party Information. I understand, in addition, that the Company has received and
in the future will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only
for certain limited purposes. During the term of my employment and thereafter, I will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than Company personnel who need to know such information in
connection with their work for the Company) or use, except in connection with my work for the Company, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by an officer of the Company in writing. 







 1.4    No Improper Use of Information of Prior
Employers and Others. During my employment by the Company I will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality,
and I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former
employer or person. I will use in the performance of my duties only information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to my own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the
public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company. 
  

	 	2.	ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS. 


2.1    Proprietary Rights. The term “Proprietary Rights” shall mean all
trade secret, patent, copyright, mask work and other intellectual property rights or “moral rights” throughout the world. “Moral rights” refers to any rights to claim authorship of an Invention or to object to or prevent the
modification of any Invention, or to withdraw from circulation or control the publication or distribution of any Invention, and any similar right, existing under judicial or statutory law of any country in the world, or under any treaty, regardless
of whether or not such right is denominated or generally referred to as a “moral right.” 

2.2    Prior Inventions. Inventions, if any, patented or unpatented, which I made prior to
the commencement of my employment with the Company are excluded from the scope of this Agreement. To preclude any possible uncertainty, I have set forth on Exhibit A (Previous Inventions) attached hereto a complete list of
all Inventions that I have, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed or reduced to practice or caused to be conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company, that I consider to be my
property or the property of third parties and that I wish to have excluded from the scope of this Agreement (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”). If disclosure of any such Prior Invention would cause me to violate any
prior confidentiality agreement, I understand that I am not to list such Prior Inventions in Exhibit A but am only to disclose a cursory name for each such invention, a listing of the party(ies) to whom it belongs and the
fact that full disclosure as to such inventions has not been made for that reason. A space is provided on Exhibit A for such purpose. If no such disclosure is attached, I represent that there are no Prior Inventions. If, in the course of my
employment with the Company, I incorporate a Prior Invention into a Company product, process or machine, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense
through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I agree that I will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any Company Inventions
without the Company’s prior written consent. 
 2.3    Assignment of Inventions.
Subject to Sections 2.4, and 2.6, I hereby assign and agree to assign in the future (when any such Inventions or Proprietary Rights are first reduced to practice or first fixed in a tangible medium, as applicable) to the Company all my right, title
and interest in and to any and all Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto) whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by me, either alone or
jointly with others, during the period of my employment with the Company. Inventions assigned to the Company, or to a third party as directed by the Company pursuant to this Section 2, are hereinafter referred to as “Company
Inventions.” 







 2.4    Unassigned Inventions. I recognize that
this Agreement will not be deemed to require assignment of any Invention that was developed entirely on my own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secrets and neither related to the Company’s actual
or anticipated business, research or development, nor resulted from work performed by me for the Company. 

2.5    Obligation to Keep Company Informed. During the period of my employment and for six
(6) months after termination of my employment with the Company, I will promptly disclose to the Company fully and in writing all Inventions authored, conceived or reduced to practice by me, either alone or jointly with others. In addition, I
will promptly disclose to the Company all patent applications filed by me or on my behalf within a year after termination of employment. The Company will keep in confidence and will not use for any purpose or disclose to third parties without my
consent any confidential information disclosed in writing to the Company pursuant to this Agreement. 

2.6    Government or Third Party. I also agree to assign all my right, title and interest in
and to any particular Company Invention to a third party, including without limitation the United States, as directed by the Company. 

2.7    Works for Hire. I acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by
me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101). 

2.8    Enforcement of Proprietary Rights. I will assist the Company in every proper way to
obtain, and from time to time enforce, United States and foreign Proprietary Rights relating to Company Inventions in any and all countries. To that end I will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including
appearances as a witness) as the Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof. In addition, I will execute, verify and deliver
assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the Company or its designee. My obligation to assist the Company with respect to Proprietary Rights relating to such Company Inventions in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of my
employment, but the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate after my termination for the time actually spent by me at the Company’s request on such assistance. 

In the event the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any document needed in connection with the actions
specified in the preceding paragraph, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in my behalf to
execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. I hereby waive and quitclaim to the Company any and
all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company. 
  

	 	3.	RECORDS. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form that may be required by the Company) of all
Proprietary Information developed by me and all Inventions made by me during the period of my employment at the Company, which records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times. 


 

	 	4.	DUTY OF LOYALTY DURING EMPLOYMENT. I understand that my employment with the Company requires my full attention and effort. I agree
that during the period of my employment by the Company I will not, without the Company’s express written consent, engage in any employment or business activity other than for the Company, including but not limited to employment or business
activity which is competitive with, or would otherwise conflict with, my employment by the Company. 









	 	5.	NO SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, CONTRACTORS OR CUSTOMERS. I agree that for
the period of my employment by the Company and for one (1) year after the date my employment by the Company ends for any reason, including but not limited to voluntary termination by me or involuntary termination by the Company, I will not,
either directly or through others, (i) solicit or attempt to solicit any employee of the Company to end his or her relationship with the Company; and (ii) solicit any consultant, contractor, or customer of the Company, with whom I had
contact or whose identity I learned as a result of my employment with the Company to diminish or materially alter its relationship with the Company. 


The parties agree that for purposes of this Agreement, a customer is any person or entity to which the Company has provided goods or services
at any time during the period commencing six (6) months prior to my employment with the Company and ending on the date my employment with the Company ends. 
  

	 	6.	NON-COMPETE PROVISION. I agree that for the period of my employment with the Company, and for the period of one
(1) year after the later of (1) the date my employment ends for any reason, including but not limited to voluntary termination by me or involuntary termination by the Company; or (2) the date a court of competent jurisdiction enters
an order enforcing this provision, I will not provide services, similar to those I provided to the Company, to any person or entity in competition (as defined below) with the Company. I acknowledge that this
non-compete provision is limited to the types of activities and services I provided in my employment with the Company. 


At the present time, the Company engages in the research and discovery of genes and their function, and therefore entities and
individuals which provide similar products or services are defined as in competition with the Company. The parties understand that the scope and nature of my activities and services, and the Company’s business, products or services, may change
as the Company develops. The parties agree that the scope of this provision will change to cover any changes in my activities or services, as well as any changes in the Company’s business, products or services, during my employment. 

 

	 	7.	NO CONFLICTING AGREEMENT OR OBLIGATION. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of
the Company does not and will not breach any agreement or obligation of any kind made prior to my employment by the Company, including agreements or obligations I may have with prior employers or entities for which I have provided services. I have
not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement or obligation either written or oral in conflict herewith. 

  

	 	8.	RETURN OF COMPANY DOCUMENTS. When I leave the employ of the Company, I will deliver to the Company any and all drawings, notes, memoranda,
specifications, devices, formulas, and documents, together with all copies thereof, and any other material containing or disclosing any Company Inventions, Third Party Information or Proprietary Information of the Company. I further agree that any
property situated on the Company’s premises and owned by the Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without notice. Prior to
leaving, I will cooperate with the Company in completing and signing the Company’s termination statement. 

  

	 	9.	LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES. I recognize that in the course of employment with the Company, I will have access to Proprietary Information, to
Third Party Information, and to employees, consultants, contractors, clients, and customers of the Company. I also recognize that the services I will be employed to provide are personal and unique. I understand that because of this the Company may
sustain irreparable injury if I violate this Agreement. In order to limit or prevent such irreparable injury, the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable
relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach of this Agreement. 









	 	10.	NOTICES. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified below or at such other address as the party shall specify in writing.
Such notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery to the appropriate address or if sent by certified or registered mail, three (3) days after the date of mailing. 


 

	 	11.	NOTIFICATION OF NEW EMPLOYER. In the event that I leave the employ of the Company, I authorize the Company to provide notice of my rights and
obligations under this Agreement to my subsequent employer and to any other entity or person to whom I provide services. 

  

	 	12.	GENERAL PROVISIONS. 


12.1    Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by
and construed according to the laws of the State of New York, as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within New York between New York residents. I hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts for New York County, New York in any lawsuit filed there against me by Company arising from or related to this Agreement. 

12.2    Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions, subsections, or sentences
contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be
construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. Moreover, if any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration,
geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear. 

12.3    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors,
administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefit of the Company, its successors, and its assigns. 

12.4    Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of my
employment and the assignment of this Agreement by the Company to any successor in interest or other assignee. 

12.5    Employment At-Will. I agree and understand
that I am employed at-will, and that nothing in this Agreement shall change this at-will status or confer any right with respect to continuation of employment by the
Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with my right or the Company’s right to terminate my employment at any time, with or without cause. 

12.6    Waiver. No waiver by the Company of any breach of this Agreement shall be a waiver of
any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by the Company of any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other right. The Company shall not be required to give notice to enforce strict adherence to all terms of this
Agreement. 
 12.7    Entire Agreement. The obligations pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of
this Agreement shall apply to any time during which I was previously employed, or am in the future employed, by the Company as a consultant if no other agreement governs nondisclosure and assignment of inventions during such period. This Agreement
is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between us. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under
this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party to be charged. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement. 







 This Agreement shall be effective as of the first day of my employment with the Company, namely:
November 13, 2017. 
 I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT
CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS. I HAVE COMPLETELY FILLED OUT EXHIBIT A TO
THIS AGREEMENT.
