Common use of Suggestions and Feedback Clause in Contracts

Suggestions and Feedback. Research Participant may provide to Autodesk reasonable suggestions, comments and other feedback with respect to the Confidential Information provided by Autodesk ("Feedback"). Feedback, even if designated as confidential by Research Participant, shall not, absent a separate written agreement, create any confidentiality obligation for or upon Autodesk. Research Participant grants Autodesk, under all of Research Participant’s intellectual property and proprietary rights, the following worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free, fully paid up rights: (1) to make, use, copy, modify, and create derivative works of, the Feedback as part of any Autodesk product, technology, service, specification or other documentation (individually and collectively, “Autodesk Works”), (2) to publicly perform or display, import, broadcast, transmit, distribute, license, offer to sell, and sell, rent, lease or lend copies of the Feedback (and derivative works thereof) as part of any Autodesk Work, (3) solely with respect to Research Participant’s copyright and trade secret rights, to sublicense to third parties the foregoing rights, including the right to sublicense to further third parties, and (4) to sublicense to third parties any claims of any patents owned or licensable by Research Participant that are necessarily infringed by a third party product, technology or service that uses, interfaces, interoperates or communicates with the Feedback or portion thereof incorporated into a Autodesk product, technology or service. Further, Research Participant warrants that Research Participant’s Feedback is not subject to any license terms that would purport to require Autodesk to comply with any additional obligations with respect to any Autodesk Works that incorporate any Feedback. The rights granted to Autodesk hereunder shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
