INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ANNEX 

I. General Obligation 

The Parties shall ensure adequate and effective protection of intellectual property created or 

furnished under this Arrangement and relevant implementing arrangements. Rights to such 

intellectual property shall be allocated as provided in this Annex. 

II. Scope 

A. This Annex is applicable to all cooperative activities undertaken pursuant to this 

Arrangement, except as otherwise specifically agreed by the Parties or their designees. 

B. For purposes of this Arrangement, "intellectual property" shall mean the subject matter listed 

in Article 2 of the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization, done at 

Stockholm, July 14, 1967, and may include other subject matter as agreed by the Parties. 

C. Each Party shall ensure, through contracts or other legal means with its own participants, if 

necessary, that the other Party can obtain the rights to intellectual property allocated in 

accordance with this Annex. This Annex does not otherwise alter or prejudice the allocation 

between a Party and its participants, which shall be determined by that Party's laws and 

practices. 

D. Except as otherwise provided in this Arrangement, disputes concerning intellectual property 

arising under this Arrangement shall be resolved through discussions between the concerned 

participating institutions, or, if necessary, the Parties or their designees. Upon mutual 

agreement of the Parties, a dispute shall be submitted to an arbitral tribunal for binding 

arbitration in accordance with the applicable rules of international law. Unless the Parties or 

their designees agree otherwise in writing, the arbitration rules of the United Nations 

Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) shall govern. 

E. Termination or expiration of this Arrangement shall not affect rights or obligations under this 

Annex. 

Ill. Allocation of Rights 

A. Each Party shall be entitled to a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free license to 

translate, reproduce, and publicly distribute monographs, scientific and technical journal articles, 

reports, and books directly arising from cooperation under this Arrangement. All publicly 

distributed copies of a copyrighted work prepared under this Arrangement shall indicate the 

names of the authors of the work unless an author explicitly declines to be named. 

B. Rights to all forms of intellectual property, other than those rights described in paragraph Ill.A 

above, shall be allocated as follows: 

(1) Prior to participation in cooperative activities under this Arrangement by a visiting 

researcher, the host Party or its designee and the Party or its designee employing or 

sponsoring the visiting researcher may discuss and determine the allocation of rights to 

any intellectual property created by the visiting researcher. Absent such a determination, 
visiting researchers shall receive rights, awards, bonuses and royalties in accordance 

with the policies of the host institution. For purposes of this Arrangement, a visiting 

researcher is a researcher visiting an institution of the other Party (host institution) and 

engaged in work planned solely by the host institution. 

(2) (a) Any intellectual property created by persons employed or sponsored by one Party 

under cooperative activities other than those covered by Paragraph ll1.8(1) shall be 

owned by that Party. Intellectual property created by persons employed or sponsored by 

both Parties shall be jointly owned by the Parties. In addition, each creator shall be 

entitled to awards, bonuses and royalties in accordance with the policies of the institution 

employing or sponsoring that creator. 

(b) Unless otherwise agreed in an implementing or other arrangement, each Party shall 

have within its territory a right to exploit and allow others to exploit intellectual property 

created in the course of the cooperative activities. 

(c) The rights of a Party outside its territory shall be determined by mutual agreement 

considering, for example, the relative con.tributions of the Parties and their participants to 

the cooperative activities, the degree of commitment in obtaining legal protection and 

licensing of the intellectual property and such other factors deemed appropriate. 

(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs ll1.B(2)(a) and (b) above, if either Party believes that a 

particular project is likely to lead to or has led to the creation of intellectual property not 

protected by the laws of the other Party, the Parties shall immediately hold discussions 

to determine the allocation of rights to the intellectual property. If an agreement cannot 

be reached within three months of the date of the initiation of the discussions, 

cooperation on the project in question shall be terminated at the request of either Party. 

Creators of intellectual property shall nonetheless be entitled to awards, bonuses and 

royalties as provided in paragraph III.B(2)(a). 

(e) For each invention made under any cooperative activity, the Party employing or 

sponsoring the inventor(s) shall disclose the invention promptly to the other Party 

together with any documentation and information necessary to enable the other Party to 

establish any rights to which it may be entitled. Either Party may ask the other Party in 

writing to delay publication or public disclosure of such documentation or information for 

the purpose of protecting its rights in the invention. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, 

the delay shall not exceed a period of six months from the date of disclosure by the 

inventing Party to the other Party. 

IV. Business Confidential Information 

In the event that information identified in a timely fashion as business-confidential is furnished or 

created under this Arrangement, each Party and its participants shall protect such information in 

accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and administrative practices. Information may be 

identified as "business-confidential" if a person having the information may derive an economic 

benefit from it or may obtain a competitive advantage over those who do not have it, and the 

information is not generally known or publicly available from other sources, and the owner has 

not previously made the information available without imposing in a timely manner an obligation 

to keep it confidential.
