Engaging Industrial Associates
WP6 disseminating activities aim at involving industry in a
way that maximizes the impact of network activities on its productivity. An
affiliation letter and a
questionnaire are proposed in order to understand how to structure the
interaction that maximizes advantages with respect to committed time and effort.
Four levels of involvement with HYCON operations are
defined
-
HYCON Connected Company
-
HYCON Associate Member Company
-
HYCON Full Member Company
-
HYCON Premium Member Company
according to the fields of interest pointed out. Different degrees of insight in HYCON correspond, starting from the simple "being informed on" to the more involving "participating to" the research activities.
Intellectual Property Rights - IPR issues
Better research results are expected when the HYCON partners and the external affiliates share and exchange information about their respective activities. Nevertheless, industrialists may not easily provide information since, in general, revealing them would affect their concurrent position with respect to competitors. A proper informative campaign has to be held in order to reassure all involved entities about potential impact of HYCON on their competitive positions. This is the aim of the WP6 deliverable D6.1.1 "Industrial Property Rights policy for Industrial Partner/Associate Agreements" which provides an overview of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) provisions in the Sixth Framework Program (FP6). The document is based on the annexes to EC contract:
-
Annex II (Article II.9, Confidentiality, Article II.32, Ownership of knowledge, Article II.33, Protection of Knowledge, Article II.34, Use and Dissemination, Article II.35, Access Rights, Article II.36, Incompatible or Restrictive Commitments);
-
Consortium Agreement (Article 4.3.3, Industrial Property Use and dissemination Committee, Article 9.1, Confidentiality, Article 9.2, Publication, Articles 9.3, General principles regarding Pre-Existing Know-How, Articles 9.4, Ownership and protection of Knowledge, Articles 9.5, Access Rights).
