Improvements by UHN Clause Samples

The "Improvements by UHN" clause defines how any enhancements, modifications, or upgrades made by the University Health Network (UHN) to a product, process, or intellectual property are handled under the agreement. Typically, this clause specifies whether UHN retains ownership of such improvements, how these improvements are documented, and if or how they are shared with other parties. For example, if UHN develops a new feature for licensed software, this clause would clarify who owns the rights to that feature and whether it must be licensed back to the original provider. The core function of this clause is to clearly allocate rights and responsibilities regarding improvements, preventing future disputes over ownership and use of enhancements made during the collaboration.
Improvements by UHN. (a) Improvements by UHN PI(s) In consideration of MBI providing to UHN the payments described in this Agreements, UHN hereby grants to MBI a right of first negotiation for an exclusive, royalty-bearing license, with the right to grant sublicenses without consent, to any Improvements by UHN PI(s) (including any associated Know-how) for the Licensed Field in the Territory. UHN will provide MBI with written notice of each Improvement by UHN PI(s) promptly after UHN files a Patent application for such Improvement by UHN PI(s), which notice shall be accompanied by sufficient data and other information to enable MBI to evaluate such Improvement by UHN PI(s). MBI will have six (6) months after receiving written notice from UHN to provide written notice to UHN of its intent to license said improvement (in this subsection, a “Notice of Intent”). If UHN does not receive a Notice of Intent under this Subsection 2.3(a) within six (6) months, MBI’s right of first refusal will lapse and UHN will be free to dispose of the Improvement by UHN PI(s) as it sees fit. After the Notice of Intent has been received further to this Subsection 2.3(a), both Parties shall diligently and in good faith negotiate the addition of such Improvement by UHN PI(s) to the Licensed Technology under this Agreement or the licensing thereof under a separate license agreement. Any such separate license shall be on terms and conditions that are consistent with other such licenses within the industry and satisfactory to UHN. If the Parties have not agreed on the license agreement within nine (9) months of receipt of the Notice of Intent further to this Subsection 2.3(a), either Party may, at its option, refer the matter to the dispute resolution mechanism specified in Article 10.
