Specific Provisions for Access Rights to Software For the avoidance of doubt, the general provisions for Access Rights provided for in this Section 9 are applicable also to Software. Parties’ Access Rights to Software do not include any right to receive source code or object code ported to a certain hardware platform or any right to receive respective Software documentation in any particular form or detail, but only as available from the Party granting the Access Rights.
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.
Definition of Intellectual Property For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “intellectual property” refers to all categories of intellectual property that are the subject of Articles 6.6 (Trademarks) to 6.11 (Undisclosed Information / Measures Related to Certain Regulated Products).
