Cooperation; Technology Transfer Clause Samples
The Cooperation; Technology Transfer clause establishes the obligation for parties to work together and share relevant technology, know-how, or intellectual property as necessary to achieve the objectives of their agreement. In practice, this may involve providing technical assistance, sharing proprietary information, or facilitating access to tools and processes required for joint projects or product development. The core function of this clause is to ensure effective collaboration and enable the successful transfer of technology, thereby reducing barriers to innovation and helping both parties achieve their contractual goals.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the technology transfer obligations described above will not apply with respect to the Company’s confidential manufacturing processes or technologies related to its Delta ModTech manufacturing line(s) so long as, if requested by the Foundation, the Company enters into and performs its obligations under a supply agreement with the Foundation or a Foundation-supported Entity for the manufacture of the applicable funded product at a price that does not exceed the Company’s cost of goods (Ex-Works) sold plus [***] and subject to other terms that are reasonably acceptable to the parties.
