Common use of Joint Results Clause in Contracts

Joint Results. In the case of joint results where the university’s share of the invention is no more than 25 %, the industrial partner has the right to file the first application exclusively in its own name. If the university’s share of the invention is more than 25 %, the arrangement corresponds to the one for research results based on research commissions, i.e. the first application is filed as a joint application either by the industrial partner or alternatively by the university, in the names of the university and the industrial partner. On the whole, in the case of joint results, foreign applications are filed in accordance with the arrangements regarding research commissions (see 2.4.), i.e. by the industrial partner and exclusively in its own name. The remuneration for an invention which the industrial partner has to pay the university is settled as follows in the case of joint results: if the university’s share of the invention is less than 50 %, the remuneration for the invention is paid in the same way as with research commissions. If the university’s share of the invention is 50 %, the industrial partner pays the university remuneration for the invention as in the case of the university results, which will be discussed below (see 2.5.3), but deducting 10 % from the remuneration agreed for university results of that kind.
