Geoffrey,

hope you are making progress. =

So the clause, which is normally taking = care of=20 matters with rgds to IP has been put

by other Universities into our = agreement as=20 9.3.

=20

9.3 = ; = =20 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is = understood=20 and agreed that the Consultant by virtue of his employment at the = University of=20 .... has a prior commitment with respect to inventions and discoveries = and that=20 all rights in any invention or discovery of the Consultant are subject = to the=20 terms and conditions of the Consultant’s patent agreement with the = University of=20 ....

If you have a patent agreement as part = of your=20 agreement with the University. Normally a clause like this one is = included=20 in such a patent agreement between the individual and the respective=20 University.

'... Furthermore, I will disclose = promptly and=20 fully to the University all matters, whether patentable or not, that I = may=20 solely, or jointly with others, develop wholly or partly in the course = of any=20 work in which I may engage covered by any contract between the = University and=20 others (including the United States government and its agencies).=20 ...'

Logically, by 3CV agreeing to such a = clause as=20 described under 9.3, we automatically accept the terms of the patent = agreement=20 between the individual and the respective University. By virtue of = 3CV=20 agreeing to a clause 9.3, we accept that University IP, covered by the=20 individual's patent agreement with the respective University, is not = covered by=20 our definition of IP developed for 3CV under the 3CV consulting=20 agreement.

Hope this is helpful.

Rgds Dirk
