PATENT APPLICATIONS AND PATENTS Clause Samples

The "Patent Applications and Patents" clause defines the rights and responsibilities of the parties regarding the filing, ownership, and management of patent applications and granted patents arising from their relationship. Typically, this clause outlines which party has the authority to file patent applications, how costs are shared, and how inventions are disclosed and protected. For example, it may specify that inventions developed jointly will be co-owned, or that one party will handle prosecution while keeping the other informed. The core function of this clause is to prevent disputes over intellectual property by clearly allocating rights and obligations related to patents, ensuring both parties understand their roles in protecting and benefiting from innovations.

  • Patents and Patent Applications To the Company’s knowledge, all patents and patent applications owned by or licensed to the Company or under which the Company has rights have been duly and properly filed and maintained; to the knowledge of the Company, the parties prosecuting such applications have complied with their duty of candor and disclosure to the USPTO in connection with such applications; and the Company is not aware of any facts required to be disclosed to the USPTO that were not disclosed to the USPTO and which could reasonably be expected to preclude the grant of a patent in connection with any such application or could reasonably be expected to form the basis of a finding of invalidity with respect to any patents that have issued with respect to such applications.

  • Patent Applications It is understood by the parties that, pursuant to the Baylor Technology Transfer Agreement, MAS has the initial responsibility for filing, prosecution and maintenance of Patents and Patent Applications covering the Baylor Technology. The parties agree that, as between MAS and IllumeSys, MAS shall be responsible for deciding whether and how to file, prosecute and maintain the Patents and Patent Applications, provided that:

  • Inventions and Patents For purposes of this Agreement, “Inventions” includes, without limitation, information, inventions, contributions, improvements, ideas, or discoveries, whether protectable or not, and whether or not conceived or made during work hours. Executive agrees that all Inventions conceived or made by Executive during the period of employment with Employer belong to Employer, provided they grow out of Executive’s work with Employer or are related in some manner to the Business, including, without limitation, research and product development, and projected business of Employer or its affiliated companies. Accordingly, Executive will: a. Make adequate written records of such Inventions, which records will be Employer’s property; b. Assign to Employer, at its request, any rights Executive may have to such Inventions for the U.S. and all foreign countries; c. Waive and agree not to assert any moral rights Executive may have or acquire in any Inventions and agree to provide written waivers from time to time as requested by Employer; and d. Assist Employer (at Employer’s expense) in obtaining and maintaining patents or copyright registrations with respect to such Inventions. Executive understands and agrees that Employer or its designee will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether an application for patent will be filed on any Invention that is the exclusive property of Employer, as set forth above, and whether such an application will be abandoned prior to issuance of a patent. Employer will pay to Executive, either during or after the term of this Agreement, the following amounts if Executive is sole inventor, or Executive’s proportionate share if Executive is joint inventor: $750 upon filing of the initial application for patent on such Invention; and $1,500 upon issuance of a patent resulting from such initial patent application, provided Executive is named as an inventor in the patent. Executive further agrees that Executive will promptly disclose in writing to Employer during the term of Executive’s employment and for one (1) year thereafter, all Inventions whether developed during the time of such employment or thereafter (whether or not Employer has rights in such Inventions) so that Executive’s rights and Employer’s rights in such Inventions can be determined. Except as set forth on the initialed Exhibit B (List of Inventions) to this Agreement, if any, Executive represents and warrants that Executive has no Inventions, software, writings or other works of authorship useful to Employer in the normal course of the Business, which were conceived, made or written prior to the date of this Agreement and which are excluded from the operation of this Agreement.

  • Patent The development of patentable inventions or discoveries is not the primary purpose of the research activities of the faculty. Employees have no obligation to seek patent protection for the results of scientific work nor to modify research to enhance patentability. 10.6.1 OC agrees that employees have the unqualified right to publish their inventions, improvements, designs or developments and, except as noted in section 10.6.3, OC waives, disclaims and abandons any interest in or claims to any invention, improvement, design or development made by an employee or employees and unless otherwise provided in this Article, any invention, improvement design or development, or any patent arising therefrom shall be the sole property of the inventor(s). 10.6.2 Where the activities are a part of work performed for which OC is not paying the employee from any source and no OC space or equipment is being used, the employee shall be entitled to any and all royalties from such patents. Employees shall have the right to make their own arrangements at their own expense to patent an invention, an improvement, a design or development and, subject to the obligations in the Article and except as noted in section 10.6.3, shall be entitled to all the proceeds therefrom.

  • Filing of Patent Applications Each Party will make timely decisions regarding the filing of Patent Applications on the CRADA Subject Inventions made solely by its employee(s), and will notify the other Party in advance of filing. Collaborator will have the first opportunity to file a Patent Application on joint CRADA Subject Inventions and will notify PHS of its decision within sixty (60) days of an Invention being reported or at least thirty (30) days before any patent filing deadline, whichever occurs sooner. If Collaborator fails to notify PHS of its decision within that time period or notifies PHS of its decision not to file a Patent Application, then PHS has the right to file a Patent Application on the joint CRADA Subject Invention. Neither Party will be obligated to file a Patent Application. Collaborator will place the following statement in any Patent Application it files on a CRADA Subject Invention: “This invention was created in the performance of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the [INSERT into Agency’s model as appropriate: National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention], an Agency of the Department of Health and Human Services. The Government of the United States has certain rights in this invention.” If either Party files a Patent Application on a joint CRADA Subject Invention, then the filing Party will include a statement within the Patent Application that clearly identifies the Parties and states that the joint CRADA Subject Invention was made under this CRADA.
