Management of Knowledge and of Intellectual Property Sample Clauses

Management of Knowledge and of Intellectual Property. Regarding management of knowledge and of IPRs, the PCC will work on a number of documents including the consortium agreement and addressing issues such as: • Intellectual Property Rights, confidentiality issues, voting rules, monetary obligations, etc. • Specific confidentiality issues should they arise. • Software rights issues, existing and future. From experience this is believed to be sufficient to meet the legal obligations taken on by the consortium in undertaking the project. Subject to further agreement will be conditions of possible future commercialisation of the prototypes and resources deriving from the project. Issues like monetary obligations, distribution of any surpluses, rights to further developments of the deliverables, etc. will be then faced. The consortium agreement, will – already at an early stage – specifically address IPR issues concerning foreground knowledge and available resources, brought into the project by the partners. Concerning exploitation of the intellectual property arising from the project, it is the understanding of the consortium that: • Pre-existing know-how will be made available to the Consortium members free of charge if it is necessary to perform the research in this project. • Foreground knowledge is owned by the partner generating such information or result. • Each partner shall make available its foreground knowledge, on a royalty-free basis, to other contractors to the extent that such information is necessary for the production of their own foreground knowledge within the project. • Pre-existing know-how and foreground knowledge will be made available to the other project partners for exploitation purposes under favourable conditions, with respect to the normal commercial conditions applied by the granting partner. • Research partners will be granted a fair compensation in the form of royalties by the partners exploiting the foreground knowledge in which the research partners have contributed. • Research partners will be entitled to freely reuse internally their foreground knowledge, and will be entitled to freely disseminate such foreground knowledge in any academic paper. The only applicable restriction is that such papers must include as co-authors all the partners who have contributed to such work. • Research partners will be entitled to create spin-offs for the commercialization of their foreground knowledge, in which case the same conditions would apply as to any other project partner.
