We accept Commissioned research partnership if there is no obstacle to the university research and education and meaningful to the university research and education.
Expense
Expenses required for the research are the liability of the consigning party and both direct and indirect expenses (30% of direct expenses) are required. If the total amount of research expenses has been finalized, it is possible to establish a research contract that covers multiple years.
Attribution of rights, Patent application and Exclusive negotiation
Rights are normally attributed solely to the university.
If a partner company intends to exploit a patent, it selects the acquisition of exclusive negotiating rights at the time of patent application. Exclusive negotiating rights refer to rights that enable selection of exclusive or nonexclusive execution of the relevant patent for a period of three years from the application date.
During that time, the university may not engage in negotiations involving the relevant patent with any other company.
If the partner company executes the relevant patent, it must pay implementation fees to the university regardless of whether exclusive or nonexclusive execution is selected.
