Funny but here in Texas we get the same story about "California". We have
not had any interaction with this company but UT System would not give up
all rights, title and interest, etc. and if there is any language that would
allow us to do so, I would be interested in seeing it too.

We have received an agreement from Alcatel USA Sourcing, L. P. that
includes clauses giving them all rights, title and interest in the
project, documentation and any inventions (patentable or unpatentable),
copyrights,...

The company will not budge on this point and says that other
Universities (they specifically mentioned "Texas") have accepted their
language.  I would greatly appreciated hearing from any of you who have
interacted with this company specifically on the ownership issue.

Thanks!
