The most important terms that are generally included in a cooperation agreement are: whether a cooperation agreement should contain detailed intellectual property provisions depends on the nature of the project and the intellectual property used or created during the duration of the project. There are many types of intellectual property, including copyright, trademarks, design rights and patents. The parties will want to include provisions to protect all intellectual property rights that belong to them or are created by them before entering into cooperation, and the agreements often contain specific provisions that stipulate that ownership of this type of intellectual property remains in the background of the party that created and owns it. The parties must decide how the intellectual property rights created during the project will be treated – whether they are considered collectively owned by the company or whether one party owns the intellectual property and will grant the other party or the parties of the cooperation a license to operate the intellectual property for the project. A licence may also be granted to contractors, consultants or counselors of the parties. In addition to the provisions discussed to date, the parties likely wish to document what happens when their intellectual property is violated or likely to be violated by a third party, and request notification by the other party if they are aware of a real or potential violation. A party who uses intellectual property under a licence may also require compensation for losses incurred or likely to be incurred in connection with a third-party claim that the intellectual property it uses violates the intellectual property rights of that third party; NEWS RELEASEFOR IMMEDIATE Contact: Drew MacFadyen6.
