Intellectual Property Rights

MCR realizes that there are many different situations and needs regarding intellectual property, so it is important to maintain flexibility in these arrangements. It is also essential that the arrangements be mutually beneficial, since one-sided agreements are unlikely to lead to a continuing relationship. MCR is willing to explore a number of options, including the models described below.

The handling of intellectual property rights and the project fees are an essential part of the project negotiations. As a usual starting point, the intellectual property will reside with the party making the invention, and joint inventions will be jointly owned.

MCR earns its income by performing contract research and has a need to share in the value created for its clients. The income can take the form of royalties, licensing fees for intellectual property, or bonuses for established technical or economic milestones.
