• Remains

going
to
make
available
to
the
project
and
/
or
exclude
from

is
the

for
foreground
generated
in
common

• Project
partners
must
therefore
conclude
a
joint
ownership
agreement
to
deal
with
allocaQon
and
exercise
of
the
rights.
• In
absence
of
such
an
agreement,
a
default
joint
ownership
regime
applies.
Joint

may
be
dealt

size-‐fits-‐all
instrument)
or
in
a
separate
agreement

It
is
important
to
remember
that
many
IPR
demand
novelty
as
a
requirement
for
acquiring
protec@on.
Keeping
confiden@ality
is
therefore
essen@al.

Beneficiaries
shall
use
the
foreground
which
they
own
or
ensure
that
it
is
used,
essenQally
through
two
routes:
• for
use
in
commercial
ac@vi@es,
such
as
markeQng
a
product;
• for
use
in
further
research
ac@vi@es.
This
use
of
foreground
can
be
direct
(by
the
owner
itself),
or
carried
out
by
other
parQes
(through
licensing,
for

are

swily
(having
due

confidenQality)
But:
• No
disseminaQon
of

may
take
place
before
decision
is
made
regarding
its
possible
protecQon.
• In
case
project

fail
to
disseminate
the
results
without
any
jusQficaQon,
the
Commission
may
disseminate
the
foreground
without
seeking
permission
from
the

who
own
it

recently
produced
three
fact

you
with
a
general
overview
of
the

from
the

All
these

are
strictly

so
that
a

of

is
