Owner will rely solely on its patent rights. No obligation to the Owner will exist until such time as a further written agreement is entered into between Owner and Recipient. The disclosure is not received in confidence. Recipient will let the Owner know whether there is any interest in having further discussions and, if not, the Recipient is under no obligation to provide reasons. Owner was not requested by the Recipient to make the disclosure.
Most major companies have an outside submission procedure.
Typically, all such matters are handled initially by an individual who is not technically trained. Only upon receipt of an executed agreement approving the company's proposed terms would the disclosure then be passed on to others in the company for substantive review.

The Owner can see if others are willing to receive the disclosure on such a basis. Other options include forgetting about it or signing the agreement proposed by the Recipient.
