consultancy or other paid relationship with Volcano Europe, the Manager discovers, creates,
makes, improves or takes part in the discovery, creation, making or improvement of any
invention capable of being protected by a patent or a utility model, any industrial design or
model capable of being protected as a registered design or model, any trademarks, domain
names, or other inventions, improvements, discoveries, products, components, devices,
compositions, methods, formulas or processes whether capable of protection by any of the
aforementioned intellectual property rights or otherwise (all of which are hereinafter
referred to as “Industrial Property”), said Industrial Property rights shall accrue to and
shall be the absolute and exclusive property of Volcano Europe, provided that they relate to
or are capable of being used in the business carried on by Volcano Europe (including Volcano
Europe’s subsidiaries or associated companies), at Volcano Europe’s entire discretion.
	 
	9.2	 	In the event that Volcano Europe would not be regarded by law as, or would not be authorised
by law to become, the full proprietor of any Industrial Property in any such subject-matters
as described under Article 9.1 above, Volcano Europe shall have a pre-emption right during 6
months after being informed thereof by the Manager in accordance with Article 9.10 below in
order to obtain a licence upon the conditions agreed upon in common agreement between the
Manager and Volcano Europe, which conditions cannot be less favourable to Volcano Europe than
the conditions which are proposed to the Manager by other parties.

prejudice the Manager’s moral right to be named as the inventor thereof in the patent
applications.
	 
	9.4	 	The remuneration/wages granted by Volcano Europe to the Manager pursuant to Article 6.1 of
this Agreement are hereby expressly regarded as an entire and genuine compensation for any
possible assignment of Industrial Property to Volcano Europe.





9.B. Copyrights and Neighbouring Rights





	9.5	 	The Manager hereby assigns to Volcano Europe the patrimonial rights arising out of copyrights
or any other right under the Belgian Law of 30 June 1994 on the Author’s Right and

which the Manager shall create or perform in the framework of the fulfilment of the tasks
which he shall be entrusted by Volcano Europe or under Volcano Europe’s instructions to the
extent as provided in this Section 9.B..






The Manager shall assign in this respect to Volcano Europe the reproduction,
transformation (including adaptation and translation), communication and
distribution (including lending and rental) rights in:

Volcano Europe’s own name of any of the aforesaid works as a trademark.




The assignment of each of the patrimonial rights relating to the aforementioned
copyright works shall extend world-wide and endure for the whole duration of the
copyrights vested in the aforesaid works. The wages which the Manager shall be paid
by virtue of Article 6.1 of this Agreement shall be deemed to fully compensate the
assignment of the aforesaid exploitation rights for each one of the aforesaid works.

which the Manager might create in the framework of the fulfilment of the tasks which he shall
be entrusted by Volcano Europe or under Volcano Europe’s instructions or at Volcano Europe’s
expenses shall be made conditional upon the signing of a commission agreement within the
meaning of Article 3(3)(2) of the Law of 30 June 1994 on the Copyright and Neighbouring
Rights. The Manager shall therefore not be authorised to carry out the development of any
computer program prior to the signing of any such commission agreement.
	 
	 	 	The aforementioned commission agreement shall contain, among others, a provision to the
effect of assigning the copyrights and possible neighbouring rights vested in the
software to Volcano Europe to the widest possible extent under the laws of Belgium.
	 
	 	 	The Manager’s default under this provision shall be regarded as a breach of condition
under this Agreement.
	 
	9.7	 	The Manager shall not oppose modifications of the work if these are linked to the
exploitation thereof, except for modifications which would be liable to prejudice the
Manager’s honour or reputation.
	 
	9.8	 	The Manager hereby expressly allows Volcano Europe to make the work public either under
Volcano Europe’s name or without indication of any name and without mentioning the Manager’s
intervention.
	 
	9.9	 	For the purposes of the application of the Belgian Law of 31 August 1998 implementing into
Belgian judicial law the Directive of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, the
Manager hereby agrees that Volcano Europe shall be regarded as the producer thereof within the
meaning of Article 4 of the said law and Article 11 of the Directive. For the purposes of this
Agreement, the sui generis database rights shall be deemed to be part of the category
“Copyright and Neighbouring Rights” as defined in Article 1.5 above.





Provisions common to Industrial Property and Copyrights and Neighbouring Rights





	9.10	 	The Manager undertakes to immediately and fully inform Volcano Europe of all inventions,
improvements, discoveries, products, components, devices, compositions, methods, formulas,
processes, industrial designs or models, trademarks, domain names, computer programs, literary
and/or artistic works which the Manager might, at any time during any period of consultancy or
other paid relationship with Volcano Europe, have discovered, created, made or improved (by
himself or jointly with others), provided that they are linked in one way or another to
Volcano Europe’s business.





8









 






	9.11	 	At Volcano Europe’s request, the Manager shall, without enjoying any additional remuneration
(except for a reimbursement of expenses which he would have paid directly, and regardless of
whether or not he is still carried out tasks for the account of Volcano Europe), sign and
deliver all such documents, materials, information and/or data and give all reasonable or
desirable assistance as may be requisite to assure, transfer and grant to Volcano Europe the
exclusive (material and intellectual) property rights in any such inventions, improvements,
discoveries, products, components, devices, compositions, methods, formulas, processes,
industrial designs or models, trademarks, domain names, computer programs, literary and/or
artistic works as described above, and to enable Volcano Europe to exploit the Industrial
Property and the Copyrights and Neighbouring Rights in any manner it wishes in compliance with
the above provisions. The Manager shall, among others but without limitation, execute all
documents and do anything which may appear necessary or desirable for Volcano Europe being
granted or obtaining (at Volcano Europe’s expenses) patent, trademark or any other Industrial
Property, Copyright and/or Neighbouring Right protection in such territories as may be
specified by Volcano Europe, as may be of interest for Volcano Europe

Copyrights and Neighbouring Rights as soon as such rights arise and/or are granted.
	 
	9.13	 	The Manager hereby acknowledges and agrees with Volcano Europe that in the event that the
Manager would include, incorporate or use any materials (including any programs, templates or
applications) which the Manager would develop or would have developed independently and for
which the Manager would be the proprietary owner, then all rights (including but not limited
to Industrial Property, Copyrights and Neighbouring Rights) in such material shall form part
of the deliverables and services performed by the Manager for Volcano Europe and shall be
deemed to have been assigned to Volcano Europe, unless the Manager has identified such
materials in writing to Volcano Europe prior to their inclusion or incorporation. Where the
Manager has identified such materials to Volcano Europe, the Manager nonetheless agrees to
grant Volcano Europe a royalty-free licence for the duration of any paid relationship with
Volcano Europe (the Manager’s remuneration being deemed to constitute genuine royalties in
this respect) to use, execute, display, perform, modify and sub-licence such materials,
whether in whole or in part, as Volcano Europe shall deem fit.
	 
	9.14	 	The Manager agrees with Volcano Europe that the Manager shall not provide any document,
material, data, information or other deliverable which may infringe any intellectual property
right belonging to any third party and that any document or other material created by the
Manager in the provision of services and deliverables to Volcano Europe will be original and
created specifically for Volcano Europe. The Manager hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Volcano Europe against any third parties’ claim for infringement of their
intellectual property rights and pay any settlement amounts or damages awarded against Volcano
Europe by any Court or arbitral tribunal.
	 
	9.15	 	To the extent that such is allowed by law, Volcano Europe shall be treated as the first owner
of the Industrial Property and the Copyrights and Neighbouring Rights.
	 
	9.16	 	Rights and obligations under these clauses shall remain in full force and effect after
termination of this agreement in respect of Industrial Property, Copyrights and Neighbouring
Rights arisen during the paid relationship between the Manager and Volcano Europe and shall
remain binding upon the Manager and the Manager’s heirs.

both Parties shall be relieved of all rights and obligations arising under such provision but only
to the extent that such provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and such provision shall
be modified to the extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable whilst preserving the
intent of the Parties. All other provisions of this Agreement shall be regarded as fully valid
and enforceable unless otherwise proved. The delay or failure of either Party to exercise its
rights under this Agreement shall in no case constitute or be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of
such rights.

	13.1.	 	It is expressly agreed that the present Agreement represents the entire agreement between
Parties and cancels and supersedes all previous agreements between parties as well as all
