If so, over what part of the project?*Attachment A – Intellectual Property Ownership and Right of First Refusal 1. Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights (a) Any Background Intellectual Property owned by EFC, the Research Institution or the Researcher remains the exclusive property of such party. (b) The Research Institution represents and warrants that the Research Institution or the Researcher has secured or will secure the rights or has the right to use all of the Background Intellectual Property required to carry out the Project. (c) Any Foreground Intellectual Property resulting from the activities undertaken and described in the Project will be owned by the Research Institution, the Researcher or a third party, as set out in an agreement between the Research Institution, the Researcher and/or such third party. (d) The Research Institution hereby grants EFC a non-exclusive, world-wide, royalty-free license to translate, reproduce or publish, but not to modify, the whole or part of any report or other documents submitted by the Research Institution or the Researcher under this Agreement, and to include such material in any report or other document relating to the Project that may be prepared, reproduced or published by or for EFC, but may not charge any fees in connection with any such translation, reproduction or publication. 2. Right of First Refusal The Research Institution hereby grants to EFC a right of first refusal in the Foreground Intellectual Property as follows: (a) Before any licensing or other form of commercial exploitation of the Foreground Intellectual Property is made by the Research Institution or the Researcher, the Research Institution must provide EFC, in writing, on an ongoing basis during the course of the Project and upon completion of the Project, information as to the scope of the Foreground Intellectual Property. (b) The Research Institution will provide EFC written notice of any application of the Foreground Intellectual Property that, in the Research Institution’s opinion, is commercially viable. EFC will have a first right to negotiate with the Research Institution and the Researcher for an exclusive or non-exclusive license of such Foreground Intellectual Property for a period of 90 days (or such other period agreed upon) after receiving notice for commercial exploitation of the Foreground Intellectual Property. EFC may, with the consent of the Research Institution (not to be unreasonably withheld), assign such right of first refusal to one or more of EFC’s members or partners or any other third parties for purposes of the commercial exploitation of the Foreground Intellectual Property. (c) EFC and the Research Institution will negotiate in good faith the provisions of a license agreement or an IP transfer agreement. However, should the parties fail to agree on the terms of a license agreement or IP transfer agreement, the Research Institution may commercialize the Foreground Intellectual Property (or grant a license of or transfer the Foreground Intellectual Property to a third party to commercialize it) without having to account further to EFC, but only if, where the Foreground Intellectual Property is licensed or assigned to a third party, the terms offered to the third party, when considering the terms and circumstances as a whole, are not materially more advantageous to the third party than the terms offered to EFC.If funded, all researchers and institutions are expected to negotiate with EFC the right of first refusal with respect to the intellectual property arising from the project, in priority to other parties, including the right to commercialize the research and/or obtain the ability to register intellectual property rights (such as patents) or obtain a licence with respect to such intellectual property rights, on the terms set out in Attachment A. Please indicate if the researcher or institution foresees any obstacles agreeing to Attachment A.* This iframe contains the logic required to handle Ajax powered Gravity Forms.
