Common use of Theses Clause in Contracts

Theses. Nothing in this Agreement shall impose restrictions on the content or handling, for academic purposes, of theses of the Participant in a University Project. Nonetheless, the Centre may request, in writing, that the Participant delay publication or disclosure of a thesis for a period not to exceed one (1) year from the date of intended publication or disclosure, only if such publication or disclosure would prevent protection or commercialization of any Centre Intellectual Property or research results arising from performance of a University Project. The Centre may also request that a thesis defence be held in camera and that the members of the thesis examination board, including the external examiner(s), be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. The Centre acknowledges that this Agreement does not obligate the Participant to delay publication or disclosure of a thesis.
