Common use of Contractor Intellectual Property Clause in Contracts

Contractor Intellectual Property. Contractor shall retain all right, title and interest in and to all Contractor Intellectual Property that Contractor delivers to the State in accordance with Attachment A of this Contract. “Contractor Intellectual Property” means any intellectual property, tangible or intangible, that is owned by Contractor and contained in or necessary for the use of the items that Contractor is required to deliver to the State under this Contract, including Work Product (“Deliverables”). Should the State require a license for the use of Contractor Intellectual Property in connection with the development or use of the Deliverables, the Contractor shall grant the State a royalty-free license for such development and use. For the avoidance of doubt, Work Product shall not be deemed to include Contractor Intellectual Property, provided the State shall be granted an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive royalty-free license to any such Contractor Intellectual Property that is incorporated into Work Product.
