Rights in Data and Copyrights Sample Clauses
The 'Rights in Data and Copyrights' clause defines the ownership, usage rights, and protection of data and intellectual property created or used under an agreement. It typically specifies whether the client, contractor, or both retain rights to data, software, documents, or other creative works produced during the project, and may outline permissions for reproduction, distribution, or modification. This clause is essential for clarifying who controls the resulting intellectual property, preventing disputes over ownership, and ensuring that both parties understand their rights and obligations regarding the use and dissemination of data and copyrighted materials.
Rights in Data and Copyrights a. The term "subject data" used in this section means recorded information, whether or not copyrighted, that is developed, delivered, or specified to be delivered under this Agreement. The term includes graphic or pictorial delineations in media such as drawings or photographs; text in specifications or related performance or design-type documents; machine forms such as punched cards, magnetic tape, or computer memory printouts; and information retained in computer memory. Examples include, but are not limited to: computer software, engineering drawings and associated lists, specifications, standards, process sheets, manuals, technical reports, catalog item identifications, and related information. The term does not include financial reports, cost analyses, and similar information incidental to Project administration.
b. The following restrictions apply to all subject data first produced in the performance of this Agreement:
1) Except for its own internal use, the Grantee may not publish or reproduce such data in whole or in part, or in any manner or form, nor may the Grantee authorize others to do so, without the written consent of FRA, until such time as FRA may have either released or approved the release of such data to the public; this restriction on publication, however, does not apply to grant agreements with academic institutions.
2) As authorized by 49 C.F.R. § 18.34, or 49 C.F.R. § 19.36, as applicable, FRA reserves a royalty-free, non-exclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish or otherwise use, and to authorize others to use, for Federal Government purposes:
a) Any work developed under a grant, cooperative agreement, sub-grant, sub- agreement, or third party contract, irrespective of whether or not a copyright has been obtained; and
b) Any rights of copyright to which a Grantee, subgrantee, or a third party contractor purchases ownership with Federal assistance.
c. When FRA provides assistance to a Grantee for a Project involving planning, research, or development, it is generally FRA's intent to increase the body of knowledge, rather than to limit the benefits of the Project to those parties that have participated therein. Therefore, unless FRA determines otherwise, the Grantee understands and agrees that, in addition to the rights set forth in preceding portions of this section of this Agreement, FRA may make available to any FRA Grantee, subgrantee, third party contractor, or third party subcontractor, either FRA's license in the...
