Common use of Intellectual Property and Data Clause in Contracts

Intellectual Property and Data. As part of any collaboration, intellectual property will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Intellectual Property will remain the property of the organisation which owns it, though licensing arrangements may be entered into as part of any project or programme Whilst retaining an open data policy enabling free access to all data generated as part of the requirements of any required funding conditions, there are instances where data products are generated, where significant added value may have been invested in developing the initial data, or where proprietary models are used or data belonging to other providers is incorporated into a product or service. In these, or related instances, license agreements will be developed with the aim of minimising the costs or complications arising.
