Sponsor may comment upon, but may not make any editorial changes to, the results and conclusions set forth in the papers; however, if identified by sponsor, any Sponsor Confidential Information that may be contained therein shall be deleted.
Multi-Center Studies. If Study is part of a multi-center trial, Institution agrees that the first publication is to be a joint publication covering all centers. However, if a joint manuscript has not been submitted for publication within 12 months of completion or termination of Study at all participating sites, Institution is free to publish separately.
AAHRPP 1.8.D. Sample Language:
[The sponsor] acknowledges and accepts the interest of the [organization] in the non-commercial publication of the results, independent of a positive or negative outcome of the study. With respect to any proposed publication or presentation of the results of the study, the organization and/or investigator agree to submit to [the sponsor] a copy of the proposed publication or presentation at least two months prior to the submission thereof for publication or the date of such presentation in order to allow [the sponsor] to review it. Any manuscript for publication submitted to [the sponsor] shall be reviewed without unreasonable delay, and approval shall not be withheld unreasonably.

[The organization] acknowledges that in the case of multi-center studies the results of the study are to be published only through coordination by [the sponsor] in order to combine the results of all participating centers. [The organization] shall be free to publish the results of their center provided the overall results have not been published with twenty-four (24) months from the completion of the study, subject to the compliance to the remaining terms set forth in the section. [The sponsor] may recommend any changes to the publication it reasonably believes are necessary for scientific purposes. [The organization] agrees that the implementation of such recommended changes shall not be unreasonably refused. If [the sponsor] informs [the organization] that such publication could be expected to have an adverse effect on the confidentiality of any of [the sponsor’s] confidential information, [the organization] shall prevent the publication, unless the confidential information can be deleted from the publication without detriment effect on the scientific correctness of the publication. If the publication could in [the sponsor’s] view have an adverse effect on the ability to obtain patent protection for any invention, [the sponsor] may request a delay of the publication for a reasonable period of time in order to permit the preparation and filing of any desired patent application by or on behalf of [the sponsor], such period, however, not to exceed three months from the date on which [the sponsor] received the intended publication for review. [The sponsor] may request a further delay of publication only in the case when a patent application has been filed and the prior application is incomplete and subject matter has to be added to the application during the priority year. In this case [the sponsor] may request delay of any publication until the competition of the priority application. [The sponsor] shall not unduly delay such completion. [The organization] and/or investigator shall comply with all applicable requirements regarding disclosure of industry support (financial or otherwise) in connection with such publications and presentations. [The organization] shall impose the same obligations on publication as set forth in this section on all study team members. The obligation set forth in this section shall survive for a period of ten (10) years upon early termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Publication. [The organization] shall be free to use the results of the research and clinical study for its own teaching, research, education, clinical and publication purposes without the payment of royalties or other fees. [The organization] shall submit to [the sponsor] for its review, a copy of any proposed publication resulting from the research at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of submission for publication, and shall consider in good faith all comments provided by [the sponsor] during that review period. If [the sponsor] determines that the proposed publication contains patentable subject matter which requires protection, [the sponsor] may require the delay of publication for a period of time not to exceed sixty (60) days for the purpose of filing patent applications. {If multicenter study, may insert language agreeing to delay publication until the earlier of the multicenter publication, or one year after end of study, but with firm commitment from Sponsor to encourage publication}.

17. SPONSOR’s Anti-Corruption Policy
SPONSOR’s corporate policies provide that SPONSOR colleagues must conduct all SPONSOR business in a lawful and ethical manner, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the “FCPA”). The FCPA prohibits making, promising, or authorizing the making of a corrupt payment or providing anything of value to a government official to induce that official to make any governmental act or decision to assist a company in obtaining or retaining business. The FCPA also prohibits a company or person from using another company or individual to engage in any of the foregoing activities. As a U.S. company, SPONSOR must comply with the FCPA and as such, requires that its consultants, agents, representatives, and a company’s acting on its behalf (“Business Associates”) do the same. Consequently, SPONSOR requires all of its Business Associates to conduct themselves in accordance with these principles.
Business Associates may not directly or indirectly make, promise, or authorize the making of a corrupt payment or provide anything of value to any government official to induce that government official to make any governmental act or decision to help SPONSOR obtain or retain business. Business Associates may never make a payment to or offer a government official any item or benefit, regardless of value, as an improper inducement for such government official to approve, reimburse, prescribe, or purchase a SPONSOR product, to influence the outcome of a clinical trial, or otherwise improperly to benefit SPONSOR’s business activities.
