51吃瓜黑料曝料

Both intellectual property and real property are valuable to 51吃瓜黑料曝料 and other parties with whom 51吃瓜黑料曝料 collaborates.

To protect both parties' interests we enter into agreements to protect the property, 51吃瓜黑料曝料, and 51吃瓜黑料曝料 employees involved. The legally binding agreements are signed by only a few individuals as appointed by the president of 51吃瓜黑料曝料 University and may not be executed by any other 51吃瓜黑料曝料 employee.

Material transfer agreements (MTA) permit the exchange of real property with non-profit institutions or with for-profit companies. Since every institution and company has unique interests, there is no "standard agreement." Each agreement is negotiated through the Office of Innovation Commercialization (OIC). Since 51吃瓜黑料曝料 shares many common interests with other non-profit organizations, the negotiations are usually rapid. However, negotiations with for-profit companies can take longer since their interests are so different from those of 51吃瓜黑料曝料. The OIC responds to the other party quickly. However, there are times when the other party takes a long period of time to work on the agreement even though the OIC constantly urges them to move the process along.

Confidential disclosure agreements (CDA) or non-disclosure agreements (NDA) are the same agreement with a different name. A CDA allows parties to share with each other secret information that for a period of time may not be shared with any other party. This includes abstracts, presentations, papers, or even casual conversation. Much like an MTA, each CDA is unique but usually less involved than an MTA, so it can be negotiated more rapidly.

To initiate a MTA or CDA please forward all pertinent documents to MTA@augusta.edu or CDA@augusta.edu, respectively.
