Joint Intent Sample Clauses

The Joint Intent clause defines the mutual understanding and shared objectives of the parties entering into an agreement. It clarifies that both parties have negotiated the contract with the same goals in mind and that the terms reflect their collective intentions, rather than favoring one side. This clause is particularly useful in preventing disputes over ambiguous language by establishing that the contract should be interpreted in a way that aligns with the parties' common purpose, thereby ensuring clarity and reducing the risk of misinterpretation.
Joint Intent. It is mutually agreed that professional development is in the interest of both parties for the purpose of assisting employees to upgrade present skills and knowledge, adapt to new work methods and procedures, and prepare for career advancement within UFV. Furthermore, levels of funding for professional development should, whenever possible, enable employees to participate fully in the activities defined in this article. Professional development does not include time and money spent on regular UFV business, nor does the term include training or education required rather than recommended by UFV. The Employer may refuse to grant leave to an employee where such leave would disrupt the operation of UFV, as determined by the Employer within guidelines established by the Joint Professional Development Committee, but this decision may be grieved by the employee. Such decisions regarding assisted exchange leaves shall be made in consultation with the appropriate employees in the affected area.

  • Joint Patent Rights If not already established under the Research Collaboration Agreement, prior to either Party filing any Patent Right disclosing Joint Program Technology or Joint Probody Platform Improvements, the Parties shall establish a patent committee (the “Patent Committee”) comprised of at least one (1) representative of each Party for the purpose of facilitating the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense of Joint Patent Rights. As agreed upon by the Parties, meetings of the Patent Committee may be face-to-face or may be conducted by teleconferences or videoconferences, from time to time as needed. The Patent Committee will be the forum through which the Parties coordinate their respective obligations to each other described in Sections 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 hereof and in this Section. In the event the Parties conceive or generate any Joint Program Technology or Joint Probody Platform Improvements, the Parties shall promptly meet to discuss and determine, based on mutual consent, whether to seek patent protection thereon, which Party will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents and how to pay for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents.
