Suggestions, Joint Efforts. To the avoidance of doubt, Customer has no obligation to provide Suggestions to RIB; however, if Customer (or Customer Users or anyone providing Suggestions through or on behalf of Customer) suggests, or provides its findings, inventions, improvements, discoveries, or ideas or know-how in any form (collectively the “Suggestions”) for new or improved functionality of a product, service or an Application to RIB, then RIB, at its sole option, has the right to use the Suggestion without obligation to attribute the Suggestion or pay compensation to Customer. Customer (and anyone providing Suggestions through Customer) acknowledges and agrees that RIB may make, use, reproduce, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, transmit, and otherwise exploit or commercialize the Suggestions (including by combining or interfacing products, services or technologies that depend on or incorporate Suggestions with other products, services or technologies of RIB or others) for any purpose, and do so without attribution in any way or expectation of payment or other compensation. Any further development conducted by RIB solely or jointly with Customer based on the Suggestions will be and remain the sole property of RIB and may be used, sold, licensed, or otherwise provided by RIB to third parties, or published or otherwise publicly disclosed, in RIB’s sole discretion without notice, attribution, payment of royalties, or liability to Customer.
Suggestions, Joint Efforts. Customer may suggest, and the parties may discover or create jointly, findings, inventions, improvements, discoveries, or ideas that Company, at its sole option, may incorporate in the Licensed Materials or in other products or services that may or may not be made available to Customer. Any such finding, invention, improvement, discovery, or idea, whether or not patentable, that is conceived or reduced to practice during the term of this Agreement, whether by a party alone or by the parties jointly, arising from or related to this Agreement or the Licensed Materials shall be and remain solely property of Company and may be used, sold, licensed, or otherwise provided by Company to third parties, or published or otherwise publicly disclosed, in Company’s sole discretion without notice, attribution, payment of royalties, or liability to Customer. Customer hereby assigns to Company any and all right, title, and interest in and to any such findings, inventions, improvements, discoveries, ideas, and statistical information. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, Customer shall not obtain any right, title, or interest (other than the license expressly set forth herein) in or to anything created or developed by Company in connection with or incident to this Agreement.
