Industrial Partners. 13.1 The CB can grant the status of “Industrial Partners” to collaborating industrial partners.
13.2 Industrial partners are not represented in the Collaboration Board.
13.3 Industrial partners do not contribute to the Common Collaboration Fund.
13.4 Team members of industrial partners are listed as co-authors on common publications (same rules as applicable to all other collaboration members).
13.5 Industrial partners are listed in Annex 1.
13.6 Institutions that have to finance themselves partly by commercial income can still become full members of the Collaboration (i.e. ”Collaborating Institutions”). These Institutes shall be listed in Annex 1. In cases where conflicts could arise with their commercial interests, e.g. when the collaboration is going to tender products which they are able to sell, the CB shall decide to not allow them to discuss and vote about these issues in the CB.
Industrial Partners. Identify potential for commercial exploitation in two potentially huge applications - ICT and sensors, incorporating consumer and automotive market sectors. • Define future device/technology roadmap including the design process tools and methodology and • Evaluate power consumption requirements for future Supercomputers to set a timescale for leading-edge power-efficient logic device technology deployment. • Shortlist possible device technology such as FinFET architectures, nanowires. SiGe or SOI-CMOS channel materials for pFET and III-V for nFETs, leading to TFET as a stand-alone device. • Identify the requirements for low power smart sensors for portable applications as well as for wireless sensor network applications. • Investigate the feasibility of using TFET devices for smart IR and gas sensors with integrated circuits having extremely low power consumption and on-chip temperature sensing together with analogue readout. • Establish state-of-the art, IPR protection strategies, the consortium exploitation strategy and including a • Provide periodic report of the size of potential application markets for Tunnel FET based circuits in: (i) low power electronics for portable systems and (ii) low power smart systems for high temperature sensing, respectively. • Produce exploitation roadmap and final exploitation plan, as a part of the final PUDF with feedback to consortium and advice from the members of the stakeholder forum. Based on the above, outline plan for exploitation activities are summarised in Figure 17.
Industrial Partners. 13.1 In the execution of the XXXX R&D Programme, Collaborating Institutions may cooperate with industrial partners. Each such cooperation shall give rise to a written cooperation agreement between the Collaborating Institution concerned and the industrial partner(s).
13.2 A Collaborating Institution wishing to start formal negotiations with one or several industrial partners in view of a cooperation agreement shall inform the Collaboration Board of such intention as early as is reasonably possible.
13.3 Each cooperation agreement of a Collaborating Institution with one or several industrial partners shall include:
(a) A clause that stipulates that all results from the cooperation shall only be used for non- military, peaceful purposes;
(b) A reference to the MoU indicating which Articles are applicable to the industrial partner(s). Article 11 shall always be applicable to the industrial partner(s);
(c) A clause that limits access to Included Background IP, if any, to activities directly related to cooperation in the context of the XXXX R&D Programme and that states that Included Background IP is provided on an "as-is" basis and no Party, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the cooperation agreement, provides any warranties of any kind, including, but not limited to, warranties relating to merchantability, fitness for purpose, satisfactory quality and the non-infringement of intellectual property rights held by third parties;
(d) A clause that states that should intellectual property be developed with (an) industrial partner(s) it shall constitute Foreground IP for the purpose of this MoU and the industrial partner(s) shall agree with the owners of any relevant Background IP or Included Background IP. For any proposed commercial use, a written agreement shall be entered into with the owner of any relevant Background IP or Included Background IP;
(e) A clause providing for access by Collaborating Institutions for their scientific programmes to intellectual property developed with the industrial partner(s) under the cooperation agreement;
(f) In view of CERN’s status as an intergovernmental organisation, a clause that provides for arbitration for the settlement of any difference between CERN and the industrial partner(s) that cannot be resolved amicably;
(g) Notwithstanding the terms of the cooperation agreement, all Parties have the right to continue to use to Included Background IP for the purposes specified in the MoU.
