English term or phrase: to secure my signature

If COMPANY is unable for any reason *to secure my signature* to apply for or to pursue an application for registration or other protection of any COMPANY Creative Works or Confidential Information assigned to COMPANY, then I irrevocably designate and appoint COMPANY and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and on my behalf to execute and file any such applications, to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patent or mask work or copyright registration thereon, and any acts necessary to obtain and enforce the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and title, and to further the purposes of this Agreement, with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

Heißt das es etwas anderes als: ....meine Unterschrift einzuholen für ...?

Möchte sicher gehen, dass es nicht mehr bedeutet, weil ich "secure" schon ein bisschen hochtrabend finde für den bloßen Akt der Unterzeichnung. Also, Fingerabdrücke sicherstellen, ok, aber Unterschriften?

TIA

meine Unterschrift einholen/erwirken

Explanation:
Das heißt schon "einholen". Ist meines Wissens nach auch der gängige deutsche Ausdruck dafür. Wenn du es etwas hochtrabender ausdrücken willst, würde sich eventuell "erwirken" anbieten. Ganz so "hochtrabend" ist der englische Ausdruck aber eigentlich nicht, insbesondere nicht in einem rechtlichen Kontext.

Schau mal beispielsweise in der englischen Google-Suche nach "secure a signature":
https://www.google.com/search?q="secure a signature" meaning...

Oder by Merriam-Webster: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/secure
Auch der Thesaurus ist oft hilfreich: https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/secure

"secure" = obtain, procure, bring about, cause to take place, effect

Bei Unterschriften denke ich ist schlichtweg "obtain" gemeint.
