CITRIS
Intellectual Policy Principles
“Patents are expected to be rare, but…”
If and where IP
protection is indicated and desired:
uOwnership
follows inventorship
vExcept when
obligations are imposed by State tax-free bond funding of
facilities or by 3rd party agreements, existing and new.
uLicensing: CITRIS corporate participants will all gain
non-exclusive, world-wide, royalty-free, access to all IP generated
within CITRIS, as will any other company
vExclusive,
royalty/fee-bearing license an option
u In effect, we are defining an “Openness Agreement” rather than an “Ownership Agreement”
