We are involved in negotiating an agreement with a national association and
have received two new agreements from a related local commission which
contain the same provisions as the agreement from the national association.

The sticking points in our negotiations are basically three fold.
First the agreement calls for us to share any revenue or benefits of any
form derived from licenses of IP resulting from the project.

Second, they want prior approval of third party license agreements.

Third, they want a license which they can sublicense to others on their own
terms at no cost.

My questions are;
Does anyone have language which would make these terms palatable?

Would you walk away from an agreement with these terms in all situations or
would you accept them if the work had no tie in with other work of the
investigator and/or had virtually no possibility of IP being created?

You may contact me direct at the address below.
