Where a Contract Sample Clauses
Where a Contract. Academic Employee creates intellectual property outside the course of employment and without the use of University facilities or resources, the University shall not claim intellectual property rights in the intellectual property so created.
Where a Contract is capable of two meanings, one of which is lawful and the other unlawful, the former should be preferred in the absence of sufficiently cogent countervailing factors: see The Interpretation of Contracts (7th ed.) at §§7.119-7.125, McMeel on the Construction of Contracts (3rd ed.) at §7.31, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ v ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (1831) 2 Dow & Cl 232 at 241-242 (▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇). This follows from the established principle that the parties are inherently unlikely to have intended to agree to something unlawful, and therefore cogent evidence is required to prove such an intention: see BCCI v Ali [2002] 1 AC 251 at 269E-F (▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇), Re H [1996] AC 563 at 586D-H (Lord ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇).
