Common use of Co-Authorship Clause in Contracts

Co-Authorship. Subject to the consent of Principal Investigator, should the Company Results be usable, Principal Investigator will be listed as a co-author on any Publications using the Company Results. This provision as written is somewhat strained since the PI may not actually be contributing. Consider adding language giving the PI the option to review and substantively contribute or even state in the language that the PI will be listed on any publication as a “substantial contributor.” COMMENTS
