Common use of Management of knowledge, intellectual property and other Innovations Clause in Contracts

Management of knowledge, intellectual property and other Innovations. Integrating a considerable number of active participating parties needs a clear and coherent policy for the management of knowledge, intellectual property rights and other innovations. Each participant contributes differently with regard to pre-existing know how, generated knowledge during the period funded by the Commission and beyond, allocated funds and efforts, procedures, systems, stakeholders and users. Recognising the need for top-quality scientists to publish research results and the public source of its funds EuroFIR will make all results of its joint programme of activities available for publication. Commercial interests of partners can lead to postponing publication for a grace period of six months. Section E of the Consortium Agreement covers all regulations with regard to Intellectual Property Rights including the guidelines for publication of results. Partners are free to patent results from research activities funded through EuroFIR taking into account article 30 from the Consortium Agreement The DEC and SMB will closely manage and monitor network publications (see role above) and the PMO will manage the IPR database for each partner containing the following information: • The pre-existing know-how (full details will be included in the Consortium Agreement); • The know-how acquired during the XXX, but with other funding; • The know-how resulting from the JPA. This will allow for each activity to define the access of right of each participating organisations. The core partners will gather information about research results and initiate relations with industry in order to translate these results in innovative new food products, tools, methods or services. SMEs will be the privileged target, and the creation of “spin-off” companies by the participation will be promoted and supported by EuroFIR.
