Responsible AI Consortium Working and Discovery Groups Intellectual Property

The Members work together on Projects linked to the Responsible AI Consortium.  These Projects will result in co-created education-enhancement outputs, such as information reports, shared between the Members. The work may also result in research that is shared more widely, for example at conferences or publications. Any co-created outputs will be co-owned by the Members participating in that Project and, where co-owners agree, communicated with the Consortium Members more widely.

These Terms and Conditions do not affect the ownership of any Intellectual Property Rights in any Background or in any other technology, design, work, invention, software, data, technique, Know-how, or materials which are not Results. The Intellectual Property Rights in them will remain the property of the Party which contributed them to the Programme (or its licensors). No licence to use any Intellectual Property Rights is granted or implied by these Terms and Conditions except the rights expressly set out herein.

Each Party grants the other a royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive licence to use its Background for the purpose of carrying out the Programme.  No Party may grant any sub-licence to use the other's Background except that a Party may allow any other Party and any person working for or on behalf of any Party, to use its Background for the purpose of carrying out the Programme.

Each Party will own the Intellectual Property Rights in the Results it creates, and may take such steps as it may decide from time to time, at its expense, to register and maintain any protection for the Intellectual Property Rights in the Results, including filing and prosecuting patent applications for any of the Results and taking any action in respect of any alleged or actual infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights in the Results.
