Background Intellectual Property covered Clause Samples
Background Intellectual Property covered. 8.1.1 The Parties shall identify in the Appendix 1 the Background Intellectual Property to which they are ready to grant Access Rights, subject to the provisions of this Consortium Agreement. Such identification may be done by e.g. subject matter and possibly in addition by naming a specific department of a Party.
8.1.2 The owning Party may add further Background Intellectual Property to Appendix 1 during the Project by written notice. However, only the Committee can permit a Party to withdraw any of its Background Intellectual Property from Appendix 1.
8.1.3 The Parties agree that all Background Intellectual Property not listed in Appendix 1 shall be explicitly excluded from Access Rights. The Parties agree, however, to negotiate in good faith additions to Appendix 1 if a Party asks them to do so and those are needed. For the avoidance of doubt, the owner is under no obligation to agree to additions of its Background Intellectual Property to Appendix 1. Notwithstanding the above, any Party shall have the right to exclude some of its Background Intellectual Property as respect to a new Party, by written notice to the Committee.
8.1.4 In addition, if a Party wishes to list specific Background Intellectual Property as excluded, it shall identify such Background Intellectual Property in Appendix 1. The owning Party may withdraw any of its Background Intellectual Property from Appendix 1 during the Project by written notice. However, only the Committee can permit a Party to add Background Intellectual Property to Appendix 1.
8.1: Any Party may enter in Appendix 1 any specific Background Intellectual Property excluded from the obligation to grant Access Rights in accordance with the provisions of this Consortium Agreement. All other Background Intellectual Property except that listed in Appendix 1 shall be available for the granting of Access Rights in accordance with the provisions of this Consortium Agreement.]
