Patents and Inventions The Contractor shall promptly and fully report to the Department any discovery or invention arising out of or developed in the course of performance of this Agreement. If the services under this Agreement are supported by a federal grant of funds, the Contractor shall promptly and fully report to the federal government for the federal government to make a determination as to whether patent protection on such invention shall be sought and how the rights in the invention or discovery, including rights under any patent issued thereon, shall be disposed of and administered in order to protect the public interest.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS - INVENTION AND PATENT RIGHTS A. General 1. NASA has determined that 51 U.S.C. § 20135(b) does not apply to this Agreement. Therefore, title to inventions made (conceived or first actually reduced to practice) under this Agreement remain with the respective inventing party(ies). No invention or patent rights are exchanged or granted under this Agreement, except as provided herein.
Background Intellectual Property It is possible that one or both Parties may possess rights in background intellectual property, that is, intellectual property not otherwise subject to this Agreement, which would be useful or essential to the practice or commercialization of the results of this Agreement. For example, the RI might own a patent which would be infringed by the SBC when it attempted to commercialize the results of this Agreement unless a license was obtained from the RI. Where the Parties determine that background technology may exist, consideration should be given to negotiating license rights which will allow the practice and commercialization of the results of this Agreement.
