Constitution Day Johnson, Landy (Director of Grant Development) 29 Jun 2005 08:06 EST
I made our VP for Academic Affairs (=Provost) aware of the Constitution
Day requirement, and we discussed the amount of federal funding our
school has and the risk of noncompliance vs. the effort required to
comply. He decided to ask the History Department to come up with a
program, possibly to consist of a display and brown-bag lunch discussion
that students/faculty/staff who are interested can attend.

I am needing a spreadsheet to assist in managing grants. I need a form
that has date inputs for tracking the progess of funding reports, etc.
Does anyone have a template that they would care to share?
Thanks,

From: Val Kettner <xxxxxx@NDSU.NODAK.EDU>
Subject: Creative solutions to IP...
--=====================_13784941==.ALT
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
Greetings from NDSU!
In a discussion yesterday with a large corporation on a pending Master
Agreement, we were informed that this corporation had active research
projects with other public universities that were more flexible with IP
issues. I offered to view the language that other institutions had been
able to agree to, to see whether or not there were other creative ways
of
reaching agreement on issues other than what we were already trying.
They
are discussing internally whether or not to share the language that they
have been able to negotiate with these other institutions with us. They
were not willing to identify the institutions. I offered to contact my
colleagues in higher ed for some feedback, too...
The bottom line is the same story...the company insists that since they
are
paying for all the research, they should be able to own and control the
use
of the IP without negotiating an exclusive license - they want a
royalty
free, nonexclusive license to practice University solely owned
inventions
which may result from the research for commercial purposes. And they
want
to preclude NDSU from offering jointly or solely owned inventions which
may
result from the research to any of their competitors.
We have gone through the usual arguments, including Rev. Proc. 97-14
(since
most of the anticipated research would be done in a bond financed
facility), to really no avail. They really want a work-for-hire
arrangement similar to a private consultant. This situation is further
impacted by the fact that this company is also renting space at our Tech
Park, waiting for the new incubator to be built, at which time they may
occupy a considerable amount of its space. Even though the Tech Park
and
the university are separate entities, the company views their
contributions
to research projects and their contributions to operating (i.e. rent) as
an
aggregate contribution, for which special consideration should be given.
So, my question is, what have others been able to do, that is more
creative
than what's mine is mine, yours is yours, and ours is ours, with a first
option to negotiate a royalty bearing exclusive license to University
IP? We have offered to include language that indicates that if we are
unable to reach agreement on a license, we will not offer it to others
on
more favorable terms, although that was not viewed as sufficient.
Any comments, suggestions and/or thoughts would be greatly
appreciated! And if you have language you could/would share, that would
be
appreciated, too!
Many thanks!

Val,

While working at another institution, we ran into a similar situation.
When we pressed the company for details, we learned that the agreements
they were referencing had been negotiated before the IP related IRS
change had been implemented.
=20
It took over 6 months to negotiate, but in the end we were able to grant
them an initial discount on royalty payments - a.k.a. "honeymoon period"
- until they recovered the initial investment, at which time the rate
returned to the appropriate market driven level. This scenario worked
quite well as it was viewed as a "win-win." In those instances where
the life cycle of the technology may be relatively short, the company
can theoretically recover the initial investment and protect the
technology through an exclusive license at the same time without placing
the university in a situation that may endanger its non-profit status
and/or bond holders.
=20
I'm sure some of our more IP savvy colleagues can add some additional
guidance and recommendations

Subject: [RESADM-L] Creative solutions to IP...

Greetings from NDSU!
In a discussion yesterday with a large corporation on a pending Master
Agreement, we were informed that this corporation had active research
projects with other public universities that were more flexible with IP
issues. I offered to view the language that other institutions had been
able to agree to, to see whether or not there were other creative ways
of reaching agreement on issues other than what we were already trying.
They are discussing internally whether or not to share the language that
they have been able to negotiate with these other institutions with us.
They were not willing to identify the institutions. I offered to
contact my colleagues in higher ed for some feedback, too...
The bottom line is the same story...the company insists that since they
are paying for all the research, they should be able to own and control
the use of the IP without negotiating an exclusive license - they want
a royalty free, nonexclusive license to practice University solely owned
inventions which may result from the research for commercial purposes.
And they want to preclude NDSU from offering jointly or solely owned
inventions which may result from the research to any of their
competitors.
We have gone through the usual arguments, including Rev. Proc. 97-14
(since most of the anticipated research would be done in a bond financed
facility), to really no avail. They really want a work-for-hire
arrangement similar to a private consultant. This situation is further
impacted by the fact that this company is also renting space at our Tech
Park, waiting for the new incubator to be built, at which time they may
occupy a considerable amount of its space. Even though the Tech Park
and the university are separate entities, the company views their
contributions to research projects and their contributions to operating
(i.e. rent) as an aggregate contribution, for which special
consideration should be given.
So, my question is, what have others been able to do, that is more
creative than what's mine is mine, yours is yours, and ours is ours,
with a first option to negotiate a royalty bearing exclusive license to
University IP? We have offered to include language that indicates that

to others on more favorable terms, although that was not viewed as

Any comments, suggestions and/or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
And if you have language you could/would share, that would be

Subject: Constitution Day
I'm hoping to get a bit more feedback on the recent post about the new
federal regulation requiring educational institutions receiving federal
funds to hold Constitution and Citizenship day each Septmeber 17, in
commemoration of the constitution's signing in 1787. One poster
explained that her grants office isn't overseeing activities taking
place on campus. Anybody else have ideas, wisdom, plans, or random
thoughts on this? One note: our students aren't even back on campus
until the end of September, so whatever we do will likely have a tiny
audience.
The federal register notice is here:

Subject: Re: Constitution Day
Well, it only has to be an "educational" program.
Doesn't say *who* has to be doing the educating.
I'd see if any of the following outfits can offer local volunteers to
speak at programs:
http://www.truemajority.org/
http://www.aclu.org/
http://www.indyvoter.org/
http://www.fsf.org/
http://www.ncac.org/
Of course, the program should give equal time to different positions.
I'd invite one person from each of the above groups to speak.

I can answer any question.
"I don't know" is an answer.
"I don't know yet" is a better answer.
